hexstring

Deal with strings of space separated hexadecimal bytes.

Example use

Convert a string with space separated numbers from 0x00 to 0xff to a byte slice:

helloWorldBytes, err := StringToBytes("48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21")

Functions

func BytesToString

func BytesToString(bs []byte) string

BytesToString converts a slice of bytes to a space sparated string of hexidecimal bytes (like "7f").

Example

helloWorldBytes, err := StringToBytes("48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(BytesToString(helloWorldBytes))

Output:

48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21

func StringToBytes

func StringToBytes(hexstring string) ([]byte, error)

StringToBytes takes a space separated string of hexadecimal bytes (like "7f") and converts them to a slice of bytes.

Example

helloWorldBytes, err := StringToBytes("48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(helloWorldBytes)

Output:

[72 101 108 108 111 32 87 111 114 108 100 33]
