thanks you very much but the problem is that is a normal text file that i have to decode in forward way, isn't a base64 but i have to decode them in base64 mode, and with that code it will encode me them in base64 only one time... i know this is a hard problem, my friend told me that i have to decode them using openssl but openssl doesn't work :S

If 1.txt is not a base64 encoded file, you cannot decode it, no matter if you do it one or fifty times.

If 1.txt is base64 encoded, appending a six letter string will make it invalid, and if it is not your command within the loop will fail.

I think you lost me, sorry.
