....that's horrid. Why would you do that to your fellow humans ?

just use

    cat >outfile <<EOF
    some
    data
    EOF
add base64 if binary

edit: after looking thru the thread I am deeply disappointed so little people know of that feature.



>deeply disappointed

I am deeply disappointed you didn't know this at some point in the past. An alternative oulook: https://xkcd.com/1053/


I expected in a forum with far more than 10k users for this to be common enough that it would be first suggestion or the post's content. Not apparently some rare unknown knowledge that I only thought it was normal because corpo I work for used it often in CM.

And to clarify I'm not really disappointed in people, just the fact it is unknown
