Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder

Dim success As Boolean
success = sb.Append("Hello World")

// Hashing algorithms (i.e. digest algorithms) operate on raw bytes.
// Therefore, we must specify the character encoding (utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1, etc.) to be used when hashing.

// Get the SHA256 hash in hex
Dim sha256_hex As String
sha256_hex = sb.GetHash("sha256","hex","utf-8")
System.DebugLog("SHA256: " + sha256_hex)

// Get the SHA384 hash in hex lowercase
Dim sha384_hex As String
sha384_hex = sb.GetHash("sha384","hex_lower","utf-8")
System.DebugLog("SHA384: " + sha384_hex)

// Get the SHA512 hash in base64
Dim sha512_base64 As String
sha512_base64 = sb.GetHash("sha512","base64","utf-8")
System.DebugLog("SHA512: " + sha512_base64)

// Get the SHA1 hash in hex lowercase
Dim sha1_hex As String
sha1_hex = sb.GetHash("sha1","hex_lower","utf-8")
System.DebugLog("SHA1: " + sha1_hex)

// Get the CRC8 digest in decimal
Dim crc8_decimal As String
crc8_decimal = sb.GetHash("crc8","decimal","utf-8")
System.DebugLog("CRC8: " + crc8_decimal)
