Re-Encode (How to convert encodings)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a string from one encoding to another. Xbase++

LOCAL oCrypt
LOCAL cHex
LOCAL cB64
LOCAL cB32

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

oCrypt := CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

//  Here are some bytes as a hex string
cHex := "4142434445462140232425"

//  The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
//  Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58", 
//  and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list/

//  Convert from hex to base64
cB64 := oCrypt:ReEncode(cHex, "hex", "base64")
? "base64: " + cB64

//  Convert from base64 to base32
cB32 := oCrypt:ReEncode(cB64, "base64", "base32")
? "base32: " + cB32

//  Convert from base32 back to hex
cHex := oCrypt:ReEncode(cB32, "base32", "hex")
? "hex: " + cHex

oCrypt:destroy()
