(VBScript) Decimal Integer List Encoding

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

' Demonstrate encoding/decoding comma-separated decimal integrs to/from binary.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.BinData")
set binData = CreateObject("Chilkat.BinData")
success = binData.AppendEncoded(byteVals,"decList")

' Examine the data in hex
outFile.WriteLine("HEX: " & binData.GetEncoded("hex"))

' Decode to a StringBuilder
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
set sb = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sb.AppendBd(binData,"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."
outFile.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString())

' Now get the bytes in decimal list format again:
outFile.WriteLine(binData.GetEncoded("decList"))

' The output of this example is:
