TaskFileBase64decodeDestination

 

Destination

Select File if you want to save the decoded content to file or select Standard output to pass the value to the output of the Task.

 

Destination file

You can choose to save files to same folder as where the original file was found by selecting Use same folder as source. If you select Use custom destination folder you are able to select a different destination folder for the saved file than source folder.

 

Destination file mask

Destination file mask is a quick way to change the file name to something else. By default it is using * which means that the same file name will be used for destination folder. If you are going to use * you need to use another destination folder. If you for example know it is a text file want to change the original extension from ".enc" instead you can change this destination file mask to "*.txt".

 

Post process mask with Variable

This property gives you more advanced ways to change the file name. We recommend that you use Destination file mask with value * when using this property. When checking this property the new name will be stored in a temporary variable {NEWNAME()}. You will be able to use this Variable for processing with other Variable functions. As an example we have provided the default value for this property: {STRING(Replace|{NEWNAME()}|oldValue|newValue)}. The example uses the String.Replace method from the Variables window. It uses the {NEWNAME()} as input Variable with options to set a value that you want to replace from original file name "oldValue" and the new value "newValue".
