Decimal Integer List Encoding

See more Encryption Examples

The "decList" encoding was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.66 to encode and decode binary bytes from comma-separated decimal integers. Rust

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

let byte_vals = "84,104,101,32,116,114,117,101,32,115,105,103,110,32,111,102,32,105,110,116,101,108,108,105,103,101,110,99,101,32,105,115,32,110,111,116,32,107,110,111,119,108,101,100,103,101,32,98,117,116,32,105,109,97,103,105,110,97,116,105,111,110,46".to_string();

// Demonstrate encoding/decoding comma-separated decimal integrs to/from binary.
let bin_data = chilkat::BinData::new();
let _ = bin_data.append_encoded(&byte_vals, "decList");

// Examine the data in hex
println!("HEX: {}", bin_data.get_encoded("hex").unwrap_or_default());

// Decode to a StringBuilder
let sb = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb.append_bd(&bin_data, "us-ascii", 0, 0);

// The bytes were actually the us-ascii char values for the string
// "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
println!("{}", sb.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());

// Now get the bytes in decimal list format again:
println!("{}", bin_data.get_encoded("decList").unwrap_or_default());

// The output of this example is:
// HEX: 5468652074727565207369676E206F6620696E74656C6C6967656E6365206973206E6F74206B6E6F776C656467652062757420696D6167696E6174696F6E2E
// The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
// 84,104,101,32,116,114,117,101,32,115,105,103,110,32,111,102,32,105,110,116,101,108,108,105,103,101,110,99,101,32,105,115,32,110,111,116,32,107,110,111,119,108,101,100,103,101,32,98,117,116,32,105,109,97,103,105,110,97,116,105,111,110,46
