Dim crypt As New ChilkatCrypt2

Dim s1 As String
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:
Dim s2 As String
s2 = crypt.ReEncode(s1,"ansi","url")
Debug.Print s2

' Convert from URL-encoding to base64:
Dim b64 As String
b64 = crypt.ReEncode(s2,"url","base64")
Debug.Print b64

' Convert from base64 to hex:
Dim hex As String
hex = crypt.ReEncode(b64,"base64","hex")
Debug.Print hex
