Answer: The following code can be used to decode an email subject including several encodings including Base 64.
Example:
dim src as string // input
dim theRegex as Regex
dim theRegexMatch as RegexMatch
dim result, infoCharset, encodedPart as string
dim theStart as Integer
if instr(src, "=?") > 0 then
theRegex = new Regex
theRegex.Options.Greedy = false
theRegex.searchPattern = "(.*)=\?(.+)\?(Q|B)\?(.+)\?="
theRegexMatch = theRegex.search(src)
while theRegexMatch <> nil
theStart = theRegexMatch.subExpressionStartB(0) + len(theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(0))
result = result + theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(1)
infoCharset = theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(2)
encodedPart = theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(4)
if theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(3) = "B" then
encodedPart = DecodeBase64(encodedPart)
elseif theRegexMatch.subExpressionString(3) = "Q" then
encodedPart = DecodeQuotedPrintable(encodedPart)
end if
if right(result, 1) = " " then
result = mid(result, 1, len(result)-1)
end if
encodedPart = encodedPart.DefineEncoding(GetInternetTextEncoding(infoCharset))
result = result + encodedPart
theRegex.SearchStartPosition = theStart
theRegexMatch = theRegex.search()
wend
result = result + mid(src, theStart+1)
else
result = src
end if
// theRegexMatch = theRegex.search
msgbox result
