Decoding Base64

[donkuelbs]

Is there a method to decode base42 via script.   I don't see any functionality that would allow me to decode a base64 string?

I can write code and create a script include that would do the decoding but before I do that would like to see if that functionality isn't already supplied natively in the product.

Thanks in advance.

There is a "utility" GlideStringUtil that can be used in the global scope.

You can encode and decode:

var strEncodedString = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode('my_string');
GlideStringUtil.base64Decode(strEncodedString);

If you are in a scoped application, the GlideSystem object has methods:

gs.base64Decode()
gs.base64Encode()

The GlideSystem methods are available starting with Istanbul

OP should have marked your answer as correct instead of his own reply stating that you had the answer... ::slaps forehead::.... anyway,

Within your answer "GlideStringUtil.base64Decode(strEncodedString);" is the magic ingredient I was missing so I could do this:

So, THANK YOU for this answer!

Great - thanks.   We are planning on going to Istanbul next week anyway.   That will work for us.

Thanks again.
