Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66+

Decimal Integer List Encoding

See more Encryption Examples

The "decList" encoding is used to encode and decode binary bytes from comma-separated decimal integers. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local byteVals = "84,104,101,32,116,114,117,101,32,115,105,103,110,32,111,102,32,105,110,116,101,108,108,105,103,101,110,99,101,32,105,115,32,110,111,116,32,107,110,111,119,108,101,100,103,101,32,98,117,116,32,105,109,97,103,105,110,97,116,105,111,110,46"

-- Demonstrate encoding/decoding comma-separated decimal integrs to/from binary.
local binData = chilkat.BinData.new()
binData:append_encoded(byteVals, "decList")

-- Examine the data in hex
print("HEX: " .. binData:get_encoded("hex"))

-- Decode to a StringBuilder
local sb = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
sb:append_bd(binData, "us-ascii", 0, 0)

-- The bytes were actually the us-ascii char values for the string
-- "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
print(sb:get_as_string())

-- Now get the bytes in decimal list format again:
print(binData:get_encoded("decList"))

-- The output of this example is:
-- HEX: 5468652074727565207369676E206F6620696E74656C6C6967656E6365206973206E6F74206B6E6F776C656467652062757420696D6167696E6174696F6E2E
-- The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
