Base64EncodeToStr - cCharTranslate

Creates a base 64 encoded String from a binary memory buffer

Type: Function
Return Data Type: String

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
pBinaryData	Pointer	The address of the binary data
iBinaryLen	Integer	The length of the binary data

Syntax

Function Base64EncodeToStr Pointer pBinaryData Integer iBinaryLen Returns String

Call Example

Get Base64EncodeToStr pBinaryData iBinaryLen to StringVariable

Description

Base64EncodeToStr creates a base 64 encoded DataFlex String from a binary memory buffer.

Base64EncodeToVariantStr Base64EncodeToVariantStr creates a base 64 encoded Variant String from a binary memory buffer. Base64Encode converts binary data to base64 data.

You are responsible for eventually disposing of the newly created memory buffer.

This is often paired with Base64DecodeFromStr.

Send TestBase64EncodeStr

Return Value

The data is encoded by calling Base64Encode and returned as a DataFlex string
