LlBase64ToString

Looking for the current API? Open the llBase64ToString reference →

Return value notes

Returns a string that is the Base64 str decoded into a conventional string, interpreting the Base64-encoded bytes as UTF-8 character sequence.

Caveats

If the conversion creates any unprintable characters, they are converted to spaces.
Converts invalid characters into question marks ('?').

Examples

default {
    state_entry()
    {
        string test = llBase64ToString("U2VjcmV0Ok9wZW4=");
        llSay(0,test );
    }
}

This can be used in Basic Authentication, such as this login:

Host: www.example.com
Authorization: Basic U2VjcmV0Ok9wZW4=

llBase64ToString("U2VjcmV0Ok9wZW4="); //will return the string "Secret:Open"
