EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

$string = 'A string'

$stream = [System.IO.MemoryStream]::new()
$writer = [System.IO.StreamWriter]::new($stream)
$writer.Write($string)
$writer.Flush()

$stream | ConvertFrom-MemoryStream -ToBase64

EXAMPLE 3

$string1 = 'A string'
$stream1 = [System.IO.MemoryStream]::new()
$writer1 = [System.IO.StreamWriter]::new($stream1)
$writer1.Write($string1)

$string2 = 'Another string'
$stream2 = \[System.IO.MemoryStream\]::new()
$writer2 = \[System.IO.StreamWriter\]::new($stream2)
$writer2.Write($string2)
$writer2.Flush()
