Reading Body of document

Hi,

I am trying to read the body of a document. I know that the document is base64 encoded, but the soap request returns an error.

...

$query_str = "select Id,Name,Body from document where Id = $docId";

how should this be done?

is the syntax to query documents different?

thanks!

The Id part of the SOQL query needs to be in single quotes.

yes, that was a typo, sorry.
we have several .doc files as mail merge docs. when I retrieve the body of the doc from the query it is encoded. I can decode (not 100% readable though), but I am having problems show it. how do I convert that into a readable string. I can deal with plain text or generate a new doc.

thank you
