Encode Integer to Hex or Base64 using N Bytes

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to write an integer to N bytes (little-endian or big-endian) and return the bytes in any encoding such as hex, base64, etc.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

LOCAL oCrypt
LOCAL nValue
LOCAL nBLittleEndian
LOCAL s

oCrypt := CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

//  1193046 decimal is equal to 0x123456 hex.
nValue := 1193046

//  Write the integer in 8 bytes using little-endian byte-order and return as hex
nBLittleEndian := 1
s := oCrypt:EncodeInt(nValue, 8, nBLittleEndian, "hex")
//  The output is: 5634120000000000
? s

//  Now use big-endian...
nBLittleEndian := 0
s := oCrypt:EncodeInt(nValue, 8, nBLittleEndian, "hex")
//  The output is: 0000000000123456
? s

//  Instead of hex, get the 8 bytes using base64.
s := oCrypt:EncodeInt(nValue, 8, nBLittleEndian, "base64")
//  The output is: AAAAAAASNFY=
? s
