Regarding (only) the first question: your intended base64 representation of the string requires that the string is encoded in UTF-8. So, in VFP9:
LOCAL Source AS String, Target AS String m.Source = "Polyfon zwitschernd aßen Mäxchens Vögel Rüben, Joghurt und Quark" m.Target = "UG9seWZvbiB6d2l0c2NoZXJuZCBhw59lbiBNw6R4Y2hlbnMgVsO2Z2VsIFLDvGJlbiwgSm9naHVydCB1bmQgUXVhcms=" CLEAR ? STRCONV(m.Source, 13) == m.Target ? STRCONV(STRCONV(m.Source, 9), 13) == m.Target On Tue, Nov 7, 2023 at 8:10 AM Dr. Joerg Arand < joerg.ar...@med.uni-tuebingen.de> wrote: > Hi All, > > I have 2 questions: > > > 1.
