Method Convert2.HexDecode(+ 2 overloads)

---

Overload

Converts hex-encoded string to binary data.

public static byte[] HexDecode(ReadOnlySpan<char> encoded)

Parameters

encoded  (ReadOnlySpan<char>) String or char[] or span of string/array/memory containing hex encoded data.

Returns

byte[]

Remarks

Skips spaces and other non-hex-digit characters. Example: "01 23 46 67" is the same as "01234667". The number of hex digit characters should be divisible by 2, else the last character is ignored.

---

Overload(next)

Converts hex-encoded string to binary data. Writes to caller's memory buffer.

public static int HexDecode(ReadOnlySpan<char> encoded, void* decoded, int bufferSize)

Parameters

encoded  (ReadOnlySpan<char>) String or char[] or span of string/array/memory containing hex encoded data.

decoded  (void*) Memory buffer for result.

bufferSize  (int) Max number of bytes that can be written to the decoded memory buffer.

Returns

int The number of bytes written in decoded memory. It is equal or less than Math.Min(bufferSize, encoded.Length/2).

Remarks

Skips spaces and other non-hex-digit characters. Example: "01 23 46 67" is the same as "01234667". The number of hex digit characters should be divisible by 2, else the last character is ignored.

---

Overload(top)

Converts hex-encoded string to a struct variable.

public static bool HexDecode<T>(ReadOnlySpan<char> encoded, out T decoded) where T : unmanaged

Parameters

encoded  (ReadOnlySpan<char>) String or char[] or span of string/array/memory containing hex encoded data.

decoded  (T) The result variable.

Returns

bool false if decoded size != sizeof(T).

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

Skips spaces and other non-hex-digit characters. Example: "01 23 46 67" is the same as "01234667". The number of hex digit characters should be divisible by 2, else the last character is ignored.
