for me isn't very fun, but... i have tried to do this little script:
Code:
i=0 while (( i++ < 50 )); base64 -d /Users/Supermarco/Desktop/a.txt > /Users/Supermarco/Desktop/b.txt

but it tells me that: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

and without the (()) it decrypt it for me one time only, what i have to put on?

NAME
base64 - base64 encode/decode data and print to standard output SYNOPSIS
base64 [OPTION] [FILE] DESCRIPTION
Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output. -w, --wrap=COLS Wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76). Use 0 to disable line wrapping. -d, --decode Decode data. -i, --ignore-garbage When decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters. --help Display this help and exit. --version Output version information and exit. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. The data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC 3548.
