Hi all,ããI was looking at the Synchronet JavaScript API documentation for the Fileãclass:ãhttp://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#FileãIt says the File class has support for binary files and automatic Base64ãdecoding (among other features). It sounds to me like if I have someãBase64-encoded data, I should be able to write that to a file using the Fileãclass and it will automatically decode it to binary format. I've tried openingãa file with the mode "wb" (write binary) and using the write() method to writeãthe Base64-encoded data. It's not decoding the data to binary though - it'sãjust writing the Base64 string to the file. Might I be missing a step to getãit to convert Base64 data to binary?ããBasically my flow is this:ããvar B64Data = "some Base64-encoded data";ãvar destFile = new File("someFile.bin");ãif (destFile.open("wb"))ã{ã destFile.write(B64Data);ã destFile.close();ã}ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
