Jeni, Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/samples/internet/default.asp?url=/do wnloads/samples/internet/behaviors/library/webservice/default.asp for a simple JavaScript base64 function. Add a couple of lines to write the result to a file and you are sorted. Or for the external method have a look at uuencode Ciao Chris XML/XSL Portal http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Jeni Tennison > Sent: 19 October 2001 10:20 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: ZHihui Li > Subject: [xsl] Getting an image from base64-encoded data > > > Hi, > > I've been asked off list what the best approach is in the following > situation: > > You have an XML document that contains an element that > contains a base64-encoded image, something like: > > <Document_Type> > <IMAGE xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" > dt:dt="bin.base64">SUkqAAgAAAAPAP4ABAABAAAAAA...</IMAGE> > </Document_Type> > > You need to get a .tif file that contains the binary data > encoded within the XML. > > I suggested writing the content of the IMAGE file out into a > text file with XSLT and then converting from base64 to binary > through an external process.
