Description
Problem
The replace javascript function does not work on a large base64 encoded string. Please run the code below to reproduce the issue. Also attached is the screenshot of the error.

(function() {
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:'white'});
win.open();
var shortString = 'ABCDEFGHIJ1234567890ABCDEFGHIJ12|psndemo2|abcd:1';
var longString = 'ABCDEFGHIJ1234567890ABCDEFGHIJ12|psndemo2|abcd:12345678901234567890';
var tiBase64ShortResult = Ti.Utils.base64encode(shortString);
var tiBase64LongResult = Ti.Utils.base64encode(longString);
// BUG: without the two lines below get an error when trying to use "replace" on the base64 string
//tiBase64ShortResult = String(tiBase64ShortResult);
//tiBase64LongResult = String(tiBase64LongResult);
tiBase64ShortResult = tiBase64ShortResult.replace(/\r\n/g,"***NEWLINE***");
tiBase64LongResult = tiBase64LongResult.replace(/\r\n/g,"***NEWLINE***");
var alertDialog = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog(
{
title: 'Result',
message: 'short: ' + tiBase64ShortResult + '\nlong: ' + tiBase64LongResult, buttonNames: ['OK','Cancel']
});
alertDialog.show();
})();

The issue is resolved on casting the output of base64 encode to a String. Is this an expected result?

This is not actually a bug. Docs say that Ti.Utils.base64encode() returns a Ti.Blob. Use Ti.Blob.toString() to convert to a String and all the String methods.
Not a bug. Marking as such.
Closing ticket as invalid.
