require 'chilkat'

success = false

bd = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()

success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
if (success == false)
    print "Failed to load file." + "\n";
    exit
end

print bd.getEncoded("base64") + "\n";

# If you want mult-line base64:
print "--" + "\n";
print bd.getEncoded("base64_mime") + "\n";

# If you want hex..
print "--" + "\n";
print bd.getEncoded("hex") + "\n";
