Usage and examples
util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString()
- takes a string passed as the parameter,

- returns the resulting Base64 encoded string.
The resulting Base64 encoded string contains byte sequences representing characters in the current application locale.

MAIN DISPLAY "Müller vs Muller" DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Müller") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Muller")
DISPLAY "Bédard vs Bedard" DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Bédard") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Bedard") CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN |

Unlike util.Strings.urlEncode(), util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString() does not convert the original string from the application locale to UTF-8, before performing the encoding to Base64:

example code |
MAIN DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Müller") DISPLAY util.Strings.urlEncode("Müller") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Bédard") DISPLAY util.Strings.urlEncode("Bédard") CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN |
