johnnyg24 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 This was previously posted in the ASP forum, but is probably better off here.I am looking for a way to take a base64 string that I get from an XML document and covert it to an image. I am trying to integrate UPS Online Tools to generate a Return label from our website. I was able to find a script that looks like it could work. All search inquires for decoding a base64 image is pointing me to this vb function: Function Base64Decode(ByVal base64String) Const Base64 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/" Dim dataLength, sOut, groupBegin 'remove white spaces, If any base64String = Replace(base64String, vbCrLf, "") base64String = Replace(base64String, vbTab, "") base64String = Replace(base64String, " ", "") 'The source must consists from groups with Len of 4 chars dataLength = Len(base64String) If dataLength Mod 4 <> 0 Then Err.Raise 1, "Base64Decode", "Bad Base64 string." Exit Function End If ' Now decode each group: For groupBegin = 1 To dataLength Step 4 Dim numDataBytes, CharCounter, thisChar, thisData, nGroup, pOut ' Each data group encodes up To 3 actual bytes. numDataBytes = 3 nGroup = 0 For CharCounter = 0 To 3 ' Convert each character into 6 bits of data, And add it To ' an integer For temporary storage. If a character is a '=', there ' is one fewer data byte. (There can only be a maximum of 2 '=' In ' the whole string.) thisChar = Mid(base64String, groupBegin + CharCounter, 1) If thisChar = "=" Then numDataBytes = numDataBytes - 1 thisData = 0 Else thisData = InStr(1, Base64, thisChar, vbBinaryCompare) - 1 End If If thisData = -1 Then Err.Raise 2, "Base64Decode", "Bad character In Base64 string." Exit Function End If nGroup = 64 * nGroup + thisData Next 'Hex splits the long To 6 groups with 4 bits nGroup = Hex(nGroup) 'Add leading zeros nGroup = String(6 - Len(nGroup), "0") & nGroup 'Convert the 3 byte hex integer (6 chars) To 3 characters pOut = Chr(CByte("&H" & Mid(nGroup, 1, 2))) + _ Chr(CByte("&H" & Mid(nGroup, 3, 2))) + _ Chr(CByte("&H" & Mid(nGroup, 5, 2))) 'add numDataBytes characters To out string sOut = sOut & Left(pOut, numDataBytes) Next Base64Decode = sOutEnd Function I am trying to run this function like this: Response.Write(Base64Decode(myBase64data)) But all I get is: GIF87a@ ç I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
