Re-Encode (How to convert encodings)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a string from one encoding to another. B4X

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

Dim crypt As ChilkatCrypt2
crypt.Initialize("crypt")

'  Here are some bytes as a hex string
Dim hex As String = "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
Dim b64 As String = crypt.ReEncode(hex, "hex", "base64")
Log("base64: " & b64)

'  Convert from base64 to base32
Dim b32 As String = crypt.ReEncode(b64, "base64", "base32")
Log("base32: " & b32)

'  Convert from base32 back to hex
hex = crypt.ReEncode(b32, "base32", "hex")
Log("hex: " & hex)
