Flags

• --character-set, -c {string}: specify the character rules for encoding the input. Valid values are 'standard', 'standard-no-padding', 'url-safe', 'url-safe-no-padding','binhex', 'bcrypt', 'crypt', 'mutf7'
• --binary, -b: Output a binary value instead of decoding payload as UTF-8

Input/output types:

input	output
list<string>	list<any>
record	record
string	any
table	table

Examples

Base64 decode a value and output as UTF-8 string

> 'U29tZSBEYXRh' | decode base64
Some Data

Base64 decode a value and output as binary

> 'U29tZSBEYXRh' | decode base64 --binary
Length: 9 (0x9) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000:   53 6f 6d 65  20 44 61 74  61                         Some Data

Notes

Will attempt to decode binary payload as an UTF-8 string by default. Use the --binary(-b) argument to force binary output.
