import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.BinData;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Demonstrates how to convert a string to the GSM character set byte representation.

        String s = "support@chilkatsoft.com, {abc}";

        // In the above string the a-z letters have the same 1-byte values in the GSM character set.
        // The '@' character is the 0x00 byte in GSM.
        // The curly brace chars are 2-bytes each in GSM -- each beginning with the 0x1B escape char.
        // The '.', ' ', and ',' are the same in GSM as us-ascii.

        // Let's convert to GSM.

        // bdGsm will contain the GSM bytes.
        BinData bdGsm = new BinData();

        // Append the string to bdGsm.  The 2nd arg "gsm" tells AppendString to
        // convert the incoming string to the gsm byte representation.
        bdGsm.appendString(s, "gsm");

        // Let's examine what we have in hex:
        System.out.println(bdGsm.getEncoded("hex"));

        // The result is:  737570706F7274006368696C6B6174736F66742E636F6D2C201B286162631B29

        // Save the GSM bytes to a file.
        bdGsm.writeFile("qa_output/gsm.txt");
