BinaryEncode

Encodes binary data to a string with the specified algorithm

Method Signature

BinaryEncode(binary=[any], encoding=[string])

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Description	Default
binary	any	true	The binary data to encode
encoding	string	true	The encoding to use

Examples

Encode a binary string back to a string using hex

use binaryEncode to Encode with hex

Run Example

s = binaryDecode( "737472696E67", "hex" );
binaryEncode( s, "hex" );

Result: 737472696e67

Encode a binary using UNIX UUencode (UU) back into string

use binaryEncode to Encode with UNIX UUencode (UU)

Run Example

s = binaryDecode( "&<W1R:6YG", "UU" );
binaryEncode( s, "UU" );

Result: W1R6YA==

Encode a binary using base64 back into a string

use binaryEncode to Encode with base64

Run Example

s = binaryDecode( "&<W1R:6YG", "base64" );
binaryEncode( s, "base64" );

Result: W1R6YA==

Additional Examples

Run Example

base_64 = ToBase64( "I am a string." );
binary_data = ToBinary( base_64 );
dump( BinaryEncode( binary_data, "hex" ) );
