Decodes text from a [[Variables|variable]] or a binary variable that was encoded using Mime or Uuencode.

$decode(%var | &binvar, mubt, N)

* The first parameter is the [[Variables|variable]] or [[Binary Files|binary variable]] containing the encoded text
* The second parameter is a list of options pertaining to the type of encoding, and the type of variable given. Defaults are ut.
** m means that the text is encoded using Mime. Do not use with u.
** u means that the text is encoded using Uuencode. Do not use with m
** b means that the text is in a binary variable. Do not use with t.
** t means that the text is given straight or in a [[Variables|variable]]. Do not use with b.
* The last parameter is which chunk of encoded text you wish to return. Decode will decode the information into 60-character-each chunks. 0 returns the total number of chunks.

* Returns
** For binary variables, returns the number of bytes written to the binary file.
** For text or [[Variables|variables]]
*** For N=0, returns the total number of 60-character chunks exists.
*** For N>0, returns the characters in the given chunk, or $null if N is too large
