BinaryEncode()

edit

Converts binary data to a string.


	BinaryEncode( binary=binary, encoding=string );

Returns: String

Argument	Description
binary _{binary, required}	edit A variable containing the binary data to encode. _{Alias: binaryData}
encoding _{string, required}	edit 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.
