Examples

ByteArray - Convert data from BinaryRead to string

<%
  Set Binary = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.ByteArray")
  Length = CLng(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Content_Length"))
  Binary.ByteArray = Request.BinaryRead(Length)

  Response.Write "Request data (" & Binary.Length & " bytes): <br><pre>"
  Response.Write Binary.String
  Response.Write "</pre>"

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="upload.inc"-->
<%
  Set Binary = CreateBinaryData()
  Length = CLng(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Content_Length"))
  Binary.ByteArray = Request.BinaryRead(Length)

  Response.Write "Request data (" & Binary.Length & " bytes): <br><pre>"
  Response.Write Binary.String()

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.
