<h1>buffer_base64_decode_ext</h1>
<p>With this function you can decode a base64 encoded string (created using the <a href="buffer_base64_encode.htm"><tt>buffer_base64_encode()</tt></a> function) into a buffer. Unlike the function <a href="buffer_base64_decode.htm"><tt>buffer_base64_decode()</tt></a>,
this will <i>not</i> create a buffer for you, but rather you should already have created the buffer (see <a href="buffer_create.htm"><tt>buffer_create()</tt></a>), the id of which you would then use with this function. The "offset" is the
position within the buffer to decode the given string (in bytes).</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Syntax:</h4>
<p class="code">buffer_base64_decode_ext(buffer, string, offset);</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Argument</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>buffer</td>
<td>The index of the buffer to decode the string into.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>string</td>
<td>The base64 encoded string to decode.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>offset</td>
<td>The data offset value.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p> </p>
<h4>Returns:</h4>
<p class="code">N/A</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Example:</h4>
<p class="code">buff = buffer_create(16384, buffer_grow, 2);<br/> ini_open("Save.ini");
<br/> var str = ini_read_string("Save", "Slot1", "");<br/> buffer_base64_decode_ext(buff, str, 0);<br/> ini_close();
</p>
<p>The above code will create a buffer and store the unique id for it in the variable "buff", then open an ini file and read a string from it into the local variable "str". This string is then decoded into the newly created buffer before
closing the ini file again.</p>
