    I think you could get what you want with this snippet of code:

Exactly, I want to decode the password stored in ${#Project#servicePwd} . 

 

And thanks for the groovy tip. I will look into it.

Just one more point, I was wondering why you had a Base64 encoded property? Are you just trying to obscure the password, so somebody can't just view it? If so are you aware that Ready API has several feature to protect sensitive data? I've personally never used them, but they are described on the following page:

In particular check out the section "Encrypt Individual Properties".

    Yes I want to obscure the password. 

    Thanks for the link, I am aware of these options. I don't want to use password protected projects (as described in the links).
