StringBuilder Encode Charset

Demonstrates the importance of the charset argument when encoding/decoding. C++

#include <CkStringBuilder.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    const char *s = "&eacute; &#233; &#xE9;";

    CkStringBuilder sb;

    sb.Append(s);
    sb.EntityDecode();

    //  The string now contains: "é é é"
    std::cout << sb.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    //  If encoded to hex using the iso-8859-1 charset, 
    //  each é char is represented in 1 byte.
    //  Output: E920E920E9
    std::cout << sb.getEncoded("hex","iso-8859-1") << "\r\n";

    //  If encoded to hex using the utf-8 charset, 
    //  each é char is represented in 2 bytes.
    //  Output: C3A920C3A920C3A9
    std::cout << sb.getEncoded("hex","utf-8") << "\r\n";

    //  Here's utf-16
    //  Output: E9002000E9002000E900
    std::cout << sb.getEncoded("hex","utf-16") << "\r\n";

    //  utf-32
    //  Output: E900000020000000E900000020000000E9000000
    std::cout << sb.getEncoded("hex","utf-32") << "\r\n";
    }
