What assurances do I have that the text "<SaveInfoString>" will not be used in the SaveInfo string after it has been Base64 Encoded? I'm starting to think that a binary file might be better than a text file. Where would I start? I have no experience with binary files.

Make it a binary file and you don't need to bother with Base64 encoding at all -- which is what I would suggest. However, the base64 encoding will not 100% guarantee that you won't see <SaveInfoString> in what's been encoded, but the chances of it encoding that AND getting that string are astronomical.

HTH!
