Base64 contains only printable characters (32-127 ascii).

This mean I should read the file and check for characters outside (32-127 ascii) ..

??

Thank you

is it correct to say that ..

to see if a file is a binary one we just need to look for "\x00", because it would inevitable have it ??

May it wud be correct to say that -- it is not a base64 file. However you may not confirm if its a binary file. Different files have different signatures.
What do u want to achieve ?
