Convert any File to Base64 (and back)

Demonstrates how to get the contents of any file as a base64 string, and then write it back. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let bd = CkoBinData()!

    // This example will load a PDF and return it as a base64 string.
    success = bd.loadFile(path: "qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf")
    if success != true {
        print("Failed to load file.")
        return
    }

    var b64Str: String? = bd.getEncoded(encoding: "base64")
    print("\(b64Str!)")

    // Now write the base64 string back to the binary PDF file:
    let bd2 = CkoBinData()!
    success = bd2.appendEncoded(encData: b64Str, encoding: "base64")
    success = bd2.writeFile(path: "qa_output/helloWorld.pdf")
