Encode Integer to Hex or Base64 using N Bytes

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to write an integer to N bytes (little-endian or big-endian) and return the bytes in any encoding such as hex, base64, etc. Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $crypt = Chilkat2::Crypt2->new;

# 1193046 decimal is equal to 0x123456 hex.
my $value = 1193046;

# Write the integer in 8 bytes using little-endian byte-order and return as hex
my $bLittleEndian = 1;
my $s = $crypt->EncodeInt($value, 8, $bLittleEndian, 'hex');
# The output is: 5634120000000000
print $s, "\n";

# Now use big-endian...
$bLittleEndian = 0;
$s = $crypt->EncodeInt($value, 8, $bLittleEndian, 'hex');
# The output is: 0000000000123456
print $s, "\n";

# Instead of hex, get the 8 bytes using base64.
$s = $crypt->EncodeInt($value, 8, $bLittleEndian, 'base64');
# The output is: AAAAAAASNFY=
print $s, "\n";
