Crypto.Base64EncodeToString

 OverviewExamples

Example 1

-- Returns the contents of a small binary file as a base64-encoded string.
encoded_string = Crypto.Base64EncodeToString("C:\\MyFolder\\myfile.txt");

-- Check to see if an error occurred using the Crypto.Base64EncodeToString action.
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~=0) then
    result = Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end
-- Display the contents of the string, just to show you what it looks like.
Dialog.Message("This is what the encoded string looks like:", encoded_string);

-- Decode the base64-encoded string and store the result as a binary file.
Crypto.Base64DecodeFromString(encoded_string, _TempFolder.."\\myfile_decoded_string.txt");

-- Check to see if an error occurred using the Crypto.Base64DecodeFromString action.
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~=0) then
    result = Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Encodes the contents of a small binary file as a base64-encoded string and shows what it looks like using a dialog message. The string is then decoded to a text file in the user's temp folder.
