Search for base64 encoded content in StreamReader?

Question

I need to parse a NDR file from an SMTP badmail folder from IIS. Attached to the NDR is the content which is base64 encoded. That is what I need to get to. I was hoping that, using a StreamReader, it would be all one line, but they are separate lines when a perforam a .ReadLine.

Here is a sample of an NDR:

Answer 1

This search may help you to find some code

Answer 2

Try using the Read() method instead.

Answer 3

This regular expression matches your base64 string and decode it:

Match m = Regex.Match(
    File.ReadAllText(@"c:\edit1.txt"),
    @"X-OriginalArrivalTime:.*?\r\n\r\n([\s\S]*)\r\n\r\n");
byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(m.Groups[1].Value);

If you prefer do not to use regular expressions, you could try to skip every line until you find that X-OriginalArrivalTime header. From there, you can keep every line until you find an empty line, or stream end.
