This is to ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport. Its superpower is the ability to automatically detect the encoding standard. Download trial version of ScriptUtilities 800kB.
I had some trouble trying to let base64_decode decode base-strings longer than ~5k chars. The base-decoding function is a homomorphism between modulo and modulo 3-length segmented strings. That motivates a divide and conquer approach: Split the encoded string into substrings counting modulo chars, then decode each substring and concatenate all of them. I would like to write a bash script to decode a basestring.
For example I type decode QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== and it prints Aladdin:open sesame and returns to the prompt. So far I have tried a simple bash file containing python -m base-d $but this command expects a filename not a string. Use this free tool to turn binary data into text ( encode ) or text into binary ( decode ). To allow binary data to be transmitted with textual data it must be encoded.
