binaryDecode

Converts a string to a binary object. Used to convert binary data that has been encoded into string format back into binary data.

binaryDecode(string, encoding)

returns binary

Argument Reference

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description	Values
string	string	Yes		A string containing encoded binary data.
encoding	string	Yes		A string specifying the algorithm used to encode the original binary data into a string; must be one of the following: - hex: characters 0-9 and A-F represent the hexadecimal value of each byte; for example, 3A. - UU: data is encoded using the UNIX UUencode algorithm. - base64: data is encoded using the Base64 algorithm. - base64URL: modification of the main Base64 standard, which uses the encoding result as filename or URL address.	/Users/garethedwards/development/github/cfdocs/docs/functions/binarydecode.md	base64URL

Decode a string using hex back into binary encoding of the string

use binaryDecode to decode with hex

binaryDecode('F62B','hex');

Expected Result: [BINARY]

Decode a string using UNIX UUencode (UU) back into binary encoding of the string

use binaryDecode to decode with UNIX UUencode (UU)

binaryDecode('&<W1R:6YG','UU');

Expected Result: [BINARY]

Decode a string using base64 back into binary encoding of the string

use binaryDecode to decode with base64

binaryDecode('U3RyaW5n','base64');

Expected Result: [BINARY]

Create a byte array with 16 bytes

Each byte in the array is set to 0

arrayLen(binaryDecode('00000000000000000000000000000000','hex'))

Expected Result: 16
