#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
success = crypt.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
if (success != true)

#  The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding
#  to another.
#  Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", and "ansi"
#  Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

#  Encode to URL-encoding:
s2 = crypt.reEncode(s1,"ansi","url")
print s2 + "\n";

#  Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

b64 = crypt.reEncode(s2,"url","base64")
print b64 + "\n";

#  Convert from base64 to hex:

hex = crypt.reEncode(b64,"base64","hex")
print hex + "\n";
