I have a string that I called Blob() on:

var mystring = Hello World!;

var myblob = new Blob([mystring], {

    type: 'text/plain'

});

mystring = ;

How do I get the string back out?

function getBlobData(blob) {

    // Not sure what code to put here

}

alert(getBlobData(myblob)); // should alert Hello World!

In order to extract data from a Blob, you need a FileReader.

var reader = new FileReader();

reader.onload = function() {

    alert(reader.result);

}

reader.readAsText(blob);
