How might one convert a BINARY FILE to a base64 string?
Kalphiter:
I don't know how Torque decides to read the lines, but I think it uses the OS-specific line marker, \r\n, \r, and \n

2. while reading the file convert 0x00 to a newline?

1. look at the title.
2. You can't read 0x00. And even if you could, then what would newline be converted to?
Kalphiter:
Conclusion: Torque has poor file manipulation functions (why can't you read 100 bytes at a time or something, what if the new line characters are important for the file?) and limited string manipulation.

A binary file could be a picture, model, music, etc.
newline is a delimiter, like space or tab
