Decode from Binary Encoding and Append String

Demonstrates how to decode from a binary encoding (base64, hex, url, etc.) and then append the decoded string to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Go

    success := false

    // We have the string "MÆRSK" in two forms:

    // This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
    nameWindows1252UrlEncoded := "M%C6RSK"

    // This is the URL encoding of the utf-8 representation.
    nameUtf8UrlEncoded := "M%C3%86RSK"

    // Note that the result of loading a string into a string object 
    // is the same if we correctly specify the underlying charset encoding.
    // In the above example, we have the same string, but in different charset encodings
    // subsequently URL encoded.
    sb1 := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    success = sb1.DecodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,"url","windows-1252")

    sb2 := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    success = sb2.DecodeAndAppend(nameUtf8UrlEncoded,"url","utf-8")

    // sb1 and sb2 both hold the same string.
    bEqual := sb1.ContentsEqualSb(sb2,true)
    fmt.Println("bEqual = ", bEqual)

    // We can see the string is "MÆRSK" in both cases.
    fmt.Println(*sb1.GetAsString())
    fmt.Println(*sb2.GetAsString())

    sb1.DisposeStringBuilder()
    sb2.DisposeStringBuilder()
