BE_Base64_Encode

BE_Base64_Encode ( data )

Encodes data as Base64 values.

Version : 1.3
Version 4.2 : Removed

Parameters :
data : the data to encode.

Result : You can either encode plain text or binary files. If you're encoding a binary file, first insert it into a container field using the FileMaker script step "Insert File", and pass the contents of the field to this function. Text encoding can come from any other source.

Examples :

BE_Base64_Encode ( "sometexthere" ) //just encoding plain text

BE_Base64_Encode ( tableName::textField ) //just encoding plain text

BE_Base64_Encode ( tableName::containerField ) //encoding the file from an "Insert File" script step. ( "Insert Image" won't work. )
