Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashFile method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashFile method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Ruby

require 'chilkat'

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

path = "c:/someDir/example.dat"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The HashFile method is deprecated:

outData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()
success = crypt.HashFile(path,outData)

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Workaround.
# (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex_lower")
hex_hash = crypt.hashFileENC(path)
