base64 decoding in search

We're extracting a field from our logs that is base64 encoded and want to display it in its decoded form when searching and reporting. There doesn't appear to be any base64 functionality built-into 'eval'. Does anyone have a solution for base64 decoding on the fly?

I just posted an app that has a base64 custom command packaged in it. See if this does what you need.
