Base64. Code for translating back and forth between binary and base64 can be found in boost/archive/iterators This code is not dependent upon the serialization library or archive classes so it can be used on its own. Robert Ramey "Terence Wilson" <tez@latte.com> wrote in message news:000601c71bc4$5b8fd000$2101a8c0@gjoob.com... I need to parse an XML file generated by Boost Serialization, part of the file is a section generated by make_binary. I was wondering which scheme was used to convert binary to ASCII, uuencode, Base64? Obviously I need to know in order that I can convert back.
