[Tip] Blob to string

Wouldn't it be great to get the (string) content of a binary file that is saved in a blob without creating a temp file first? It is possible!

For example: RTF document is saved in 'media_field_rtf'.
Get the content of the rtf in a var:

var text = ''
text = new java.lang.String(media_field_rtf)

You can do the same with every binary file in a blob; think about what you can do now with .XML, .HTML or .TEXT files!
