Table of Contents
Description
The zoho.encryption.base64DecodeToFile task is used to decode text that is encoded in base 64 format, and convert the decoded content to a file.
Syntax
<response> = zoho.encryption.base64DecodeToFile(<encoded_text>,<file_name>);
where,
| Params | Data type | Description |
<response> | FILE | Specifies the response that represents the file object that contains the decoded data |
<encoded_text> | TEXT | Specifies the base 64 encoded text that needs to be decoded Note:
|
<file_name> | TEXT | Specifies the name of the file that needs to be created |
Example 1
The following script decodes the base 64 encoded text - U3Vuc2hpbmU= and converts it to a file with name - Sample File.
response = zoho.encryption.base64DecodeToFile("U3Vuc2hpbmU=","Sample File");
where:
responseThe FILE response that contains decoded data
"U3Vuc2hpbmU="The TEXT that represents the base 64 encoded text that needs to be decoded and converted to a file
"Sample File"The TEXT that represents the name of the file that needs to be created
Example 2
The following script encodes a file fetched from the web and decodes it back to restore the original content as a file object.
//Fetch a file from the web using invokeUrl task sample_file = invokeUrl [ url: "http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf" type: GET ]; //Encode the file content text_to_decode = zoho.encryption.base64Encode(sample_file); //Decode the encoded content and restore it back to a file response = zoho.encryption.base64DecodeToFile(text_to_decode,"Sample File");
where:
responseThe FILE response that contains decoded data
text_to_decodeThe TEXT variable that holds the encoded text
