(Ruby) Demonstrate Binary Data Encoding Methods

Demonstrates binary data encoding methods.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

# Show that binData contains 10 bytes.
print "num bytes = " + binData.get_NumBytes().to_s() + "\n";

# Get as base64
print "base64: " + binData.getEncoded("base64") + "\n";

# Get a chunk of the binary data.
# The 1st byte is at index 0.
# The output should be "02030405"
offset = 2

print "chunk: " + binData.getEncodedChunk(offset,numBytes,"hex") + "\n";

# Copy the bytes to a StringBuilder using the base64url encoding

# Remove a chunk from the binary data
offset = 2

binData.RemoveChunk(offset,numBytes)
# The bytes remaining are 00,01,06,07,08,and 09
print "after removing chunk: " + binData.getEncoded("hex") + "\n";
