From Base85

Base85 (also called Ascii85) is a notation for encoding arbitrary byte data. It is usually more efficient that Base64. For example, BOu!rD]j7BEbo7 becomes hello world. From Base85 lives in the Data format category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Alphabet	string	no	Standard	Preset or custom value. Presets include Standard, Z85 (ZeroMQ), IPv6.
Remove non-alphabet chars	boolean	no	true	Enabled by default.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the From Base85 transformation.

Limitations

• Invalid or mismatched encoding for the chosen options typically raises an evaluation error — fix the Input or options before re-running.

Example

Run From Base85

Base85 (also called Ascii85) is a notation for encoding arbitrary byte data. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform. Paste:

   Input

   BOu!rD]j7BEbo7

2. Review Alphabet, Remove non-alphabet chars and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value matches the expected result (for example hello world).
