base64 encode null terminator

Hi I am currently trying to encode a string using the base64 encoding method in C++.

The string itself encodes fine however I would like to have an extra null character at the end of the decoded string (so the null character would also show up in the text file I want to save the decoded string into).

I am using this base64 code here -> http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/cpp/common/base64.html

I hope you can give me some advices what I can do here to make this possible (I tried already writing two null characters at the end of the string I am encoding but it seems as if the encoding method only reads to the first occurence of a null character).

A cursory lookat the encoding function does not seem to show any special handling of NUL. And neither does the decoding function, are you sure the issue is not in the way that you test for NUL in the decoded string?
