Description

String representation of a CodePage. This value specifies the code page of a source binary data for binary to unicode String conversion.

Syntax

vCharSet = ByteArray.CharSet
ByteArray.CharSet = vCharSet

Returns

String

Remarks

See ConvertCodePages for all available code pages / character sets.

Examples

ByteArray - Convert iso-2022-jp binary data to shift-jis codepage binary data

Convert string between windows-1250 and iso-8859-2 (or utf-8) charsets, ASP

<%
'Convert string between windows-1250 and iso-8859-2 charsets
Dim ByteArray
Set ByteArray = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.ByteArray")

'Put some east-europe characters to the bytearray.
'This characters are stored using windows-1250 charset
ByteArray.CharSet = "windows-1250"
ByteArray.String = "ěščřžýáíé ĚŠČŘŽÝÁÍÉ"

'set output character set
Response.Charset = "iso-8859-2"

'write some ANSI string
Response.Write "Test string: "

'Write source string converted to "iso-8859-2"
Response.BinaryWrite ByteArray.CharSetConvert(Response.Charset)

'same for utf-8
'set output character set
'response.charset = "utf-8"

'write some ANSI string
'response.write "Test string: "

'Write source string converted to "iso-8859-2"
'response.binarywrite ByteArray.CharSetConvert(response.charset)

ScriptUtils.ByteArray

Works with safearray binary data - save/restore binary data from/to a disk, convert to a string/hexstring, codepage/charset conversions, Base64 conversion, etc.
ByteArray is a COM class specially designed to work with Microsoft Windows Scripting engines - VB Script and JScript in Active Server Pages or WSH and in CHM or HTA applications. It also works with VB Net, Visual basic (VBA - VB 5, VB 6, Word, Excel, Access, …), C#, J#, C++, ASP, ASP.Net, Delphi and with T-SQL OLE functions - see Use ByteArray object article. You can also use the object in other programming environments with COM support, such is PowerBuilder.
Source code for ByteArray is available within distribution license, please see License page for ScriptUtilities and Huge ASP file upload.

ScriptUtils

Easy to use, hi-performance ASP file upload component with progress bar indicator. Let's you upload multiple files with size up to 2GB to a disk or database along with another form fields. Works with large posts, any character set (including unicode utf-8). Contains one-click multiple files/folders download with on-the-fly compression (Using BinaryWrite/BinaryRead).

      Hi-performance text file logging for ASP/VBScript/VBA applications. Lets you create daily/weekly/monthly log files with variable number of logged values and extra timing and performance info.
       Lets you work with safearray binary data in VBS/JS. It also enables conversion between binary and String data using several code pages. ZLib compress and uncompress functions. Lets you transfer files using compressed stream from a client to server using IE.
      This library also enables calling of some Kernel and Advapi functions (performance, timing, sleep, configuration ...) and enables native work with INI files.
