I'm required to convert images from binary (i.e. jpegs to Base64)using "Mime Base64" encoding for purpose of upload to a website using xml. Anyone throw me a hint how i could do this using some functions in fm... or given file references using XSLT or maybe vb script Wim?

This is sort of quite urgent so if anyone could lend any sort of help that would be great, i am completely lost after an hour of googling.

Cheers,

Provided you know how to read binary data out of a file (check www.microsoft.com/scripting), then this will do it:

getting the result back into FM is something else. I know I'm pushing my own product (vbscript plugin at www.grokittools.com) but I did create it for a reason: to make vbscript integration easy...
