BinaryEncode()

Converts binary data to a string.


	BinaryEncode( binary=binary, encoding=string );

Returns: String

Argument	Description
binary _{binary, required}	A variable containing the binary data to encode. _{Alias: binaryData}
encoding _{string, required}	A string that specifies the encoding method to use to represent the data; one of the following: Hex: use the characters 0-9 and A-F to represent the hexadecimal value of each byte. UU: use the UNIX UUencode algorithm to convert the data Base64: use the Base64 algorithm to convert the data, as specified by IETF RFC 2045, at www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt.

Argument

Description

binary

_{binary,

required}

A variable containing the binary data to encode.

_{Alias:
binaryData}

encoding

_{string,

required}

A string that specifies the encoding method to use to represent the data; one of the following:

Hex: use the characters 0-9 and A-F to represent the hexadecimal value of each byte.
UU: use the UNIX UUencode algorithm to convert the data
Base64: use the Base64 algorithm to convert the data, as specified by IETF RFC 2045, at www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt.

base_64 = ToBase64("I am a string.");
binary_data = ToBinary(base_64);
dump(BinaryEncode(binary_data, "hex")); // 4920616D206120737472696E672E
