binaryEncode Code Examples and CFML Documentation

Argument Reference

binaryData binary
Required

A string containing encoded binary data.

encoding string
Required

A string specifying the encoding method to use to represent
the data; one of the following:
- hex: use characters 0-9 and A-F represent the hexadecimal value
of each byte; for example, 3A.
- UU: use the UNIX UUencode algorithm to convert the data.
- base64: use the Base64 algorithm to convert the data.
- base64URL: modification of the main Base64 standard, which uses the encoding result as filename or URL address.

Values:

hex
uu
base64
base64URL

Examples

Sample code invoking the binaryEncode function

Encode a binary string back to a string using hex

use binaryEncode to Encode with hex

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

Expected Result: 737472696E67

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

use binaryEncode to Encode with UNIX UUencode (UU)

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

Expected Result: string

Encode a binary using base64 back into a string

use binaryEncode to Encode with base64

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

Expected Result: string
