there's a `toBase64`, is there a `fromBase64` ?

11/21/2022, 6:42 PMbest I can do is
Copy code
b64 = toBase64("foo");
bytes = binarydecode(b64, "base64")
s = createObject("java", "java.lang.String").init(bytes, createObject("java", "java.nio.charset.Charset").forName("UTF-8"));
writedump(s); // "foo"b

toBinary()bdw429s
11/21/2022, 7:21 PMHere's a repro in CommandBox
Copy code
❯ #tobase64 test | #tobinary
testd

11/21/2022, 7:25 PMi must be holding it wrong, I get a
byte[]b

11/21/2022, 7:26 PMThen pass it through toString()

11/21/2022, 7:27 PMI almost forgot, CommandBox does an implicit toString when it outputs to the console

11/21/2022, 7:27 PM Copy code
❯ #tobase64 test | #tobinary | #tostring
testd

11/21/2022, 7:27 PMhah, I had used the member function
foo.toStringb

11/21/2022, 7:28 PMAn array of bytes is a native Java array so I wouldn't expect it to have an member functions

11/21/2022, 7:28 PMUnless the CF engine itself was doing something with it

11/21/2022, 7:29 PMAnd if the byte array is anything other than UTF-8 you'd need to pass the encoding you want used to
toString()d

11/21/2022, 7:37 PMYep, and keep in mind, if the thing you base 64's was not a string originally, but say, a PDF file, then you'd obviously not want to use toString!
