Procedure ChilkatExample()



    sb.i = CkStringBuilder::ckCreate()
    If sb.i = 0
        Debug "Failed to create object."

    EndIf

    ; Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
    success.i = CkStringBuilder::ckAppend(sb,"D79ED795D7A6D7A8")

    ; Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
    ; See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
    ; For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

    ; Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
    ; to get characters.

    ; Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
    success = CkStringBuilder::ckDecode(sb,"hex","utf-8")

    ; sb now contains the decoded string.
    Debug CkStringBuilder::ckGetAsString(sb)


    CkStringBuilder::ckDispose(sb)
