Please stop asking for things that cannot be done to be done.
Well, I shouldn't say it can't be done, it can, but only if badspot makes a binary file reader class or byte reader in the fileobject class.

i didn't say it could be done

seriously

Err, why base 64? Most ASCII characters can be represented perfectly in 8 bit aka a byte.

I don't know, I just figured it would be safer to use alphabetical characters to prevent... mess ups somehow

What kind of file are you trying to convert to a string?
Edit: while reading the file convert 0x00 to a newline?
