I have to encode an array of bytes to a base64 string (and decode this string) on an old Delphi 2007. How could I do?
Further Informations:
I've tried synapse (As suggested here Binary to Base64 (Delphi)).
Indy ships with Delphi, and has TIdEncoderMIME
and TIdDecoderMIME
classes for handling base64. For example:
uses
..., IdCoder, IdCoderMIME;
var
Bytes: TIdBytes;
Base64String: String;
begin
//...
Bytes := ...; // array of bytes
//...
Base64String := TIdEncoderMIME.EncodeBytes(Bytes);
//...
Bytes := TIdDecoderMIME.DecodeBytes(Base64String);
//...
end;
There are also methods for encoding/decoding String
and TStream
data as well.
Update: alternatively, if your version does not have the class
methods shown above:
// TBytesStream was added in D2009, so define it manually for D2007
uses
..., IdCoder, IdCoderMIME
{$IF RTLVersion < 20}
, RTLConsts
{$IFEND}
;
{$IF RTLVersion < 20}
type
TBytesStream = class(TMemoryStream)
private
FBytes: TBytes;
protected
function Realloc(var NewCapacity: Longint): Pointer; override;
public
constructor Create(const ABytes: TBytes); overload;
property Bytes: TBytes read FBytes;
end;
constructor TBytesStream.Create(const ABytes: TBytes);
begin
inherited Create;
FBytes := ABytes;
SetPointer(Pointer(FBytes), Length(FBytes));
FCapacity := FSize;
end;
const
MemoryDelta = $2000; // Must be a power of 2
function TBytesStream.Realloc(var NewCapacity: Integer): Pointer;
begin
if (NewCapacity > 0) and (NewCapacity <> FSize) then
NewCapacity := (NewCapacity + (MemoryDelta - 1)) and not (MemoryDelta - 1);
Result := Pointer(FBytes);
if NewCapacity <> FCapacity then
begin
SetLength(FBytes, NewCapacity);
Result := Pointer(FBytes);
if NewCapacity = 0 then
Exit;
if Result = nil then raise EStreamError.CreateRes(@SMemoryStreamError);
end;
end;
{$IFEND}
var
Bytes: TBytes;
BStrm: TBytesStream;
Encoder: TIdEncoderMIME;
Decoder: TIdDecoderMIME;
Base64String: String;
