Convert any File to Base64 (and back)

Demonstrates how to get the contents of any file as a base64 string, and then write it back. C++

#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkBinData bd;

    //  This example will load a PDF and return it as a base64 string.
    success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "Failed to load file." << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    const char *b64Str = bd.getEncoded("base64");
    std::cout << b64Str << "\r\n";

    //  Now write the base64 string back to the binary PDF file:
    CkBinData bd2;
    success = bd2.AppendEncoded(b64Str,"base64");
    success = bd2.WriteFile("qa_output/helloWorld.pdf");
    }
