Hi, i found an md5 function in the brightscript documentation, but it looks like it is not working any ideas?

  Well i needed to convert a string to an MD5 hash, and found this in the documentation:
  
  ifStringOps
  SetString(s As String, strlen As Integer) As Void
  AppendString(s As String, strlen As Integeter) As void
  Len() As Integer
  GetEntityEncode() As String
  Tokenize(delim as String) As Object
  Trim() As String
  MD5() As String
  
  and this
  
  Box(x as Dynamic) as Object
  Box() will return an object version of an intrinsic type, or pass through an object if given
  one.   For example, in places where you want to use string object functions on a string,
  you can:
  
  str=”   this is a string   ”
  print box(str).trim()
  bo = box(“string”)
  bo=box(bo)  „ no change to bo
  print bo.md5()
  
  showing a clear reference to a md5 function that i assume should return an md5 hash of the string
  
  am i corerct?
  
  thanks!

  i tried both:
  
  string.md5() and MD5(string), none seem to work..

  Are you talking about the Roku documentation? I don't see any of this in the BrightSign documentation.

  ive read about that here:
  
  http://www.brightsign.biz/documents/HDCompactBrightScriptReferenceManual.pdf
  
  either way, if theres no native md5 encoding support, any other solution??
  
  thanks!

  ok, so where's the actual code that you tried to use? What firmware are you running?

  found by chance the solution:
  
     ba1 = CreateObject("roByteArray")
     ba2 = CreateObject("roByteArray")
     ba2.FromAsciiString(values)
     digest = CreateObject("roEVPDigest")
     digest.setup("md5")
     digest.Update(ba1)
     digest.Update(ba2)
     result = digest.Final()
     print result
