util.Strings.base64DecodeToString() decodes a Base64 encoded string to the string representation in the current locale.
Syntax
util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString(string)
Parameters
|
string |
a Base64 encoded string that must be decoded (STRING) |
Usage and examples
util.Strings.base64DecodeToString()
- takes a Base64 encoded string passed as the parameter,
- converts this string into a sequence of bytes,
- converts the obtained sequence of bytes into a string representation in the current locale, and
- returns the resulting string.

example code #1 |
MAIN DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("QWFCYkNj") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("YWJj") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("QUJD") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("MTIzNDU") CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN |
|
obtained results #1 |

example code #2 (with wrong cases of the Base64 encoded string) |
MAIN DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("qwfcyknj") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("QWFCYkNJ") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("qwfcyknj") DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString("qwfcyknJ") CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN |
|
obtained results #2 |

util.Strings.base64DecodeToString() doesn't convert the original string from UTF-8 to the application character encoding (cf. util.Strings.urlDecode()): The original Base64 string must represent valid characters in the current application locale:

MAIN DEFINE base64 STRING LET base64 = util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Müller") DISPLAY "for Müller" DISPLAY base64 DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString(base64)
LET base64 = util.Strings.base64EncodeFromString("Muller") DISPLAY "for Muller" DISPLAY base64 DISPLAY util.Strings.base64DecodeToString(base64) CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN |
