# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2

$s1 = "This is a test / = abc 123"

# The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding
# to another.
# Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "ansi", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
# and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list

# Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

# Encode to URL-encoding:
$s2 = $crypt.ReEncode($s1,"ansi","url")
$($s2)

# Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

$b64 = $crypt.ReEncode($s2,"url","base64")
$($b64)

# Convert from base64 to hex:

$hex = $crypt.ReEncode($b64,"base64","hex")
$($hex)
