How can I convert a string like this
string s = "00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99-00-11-22-3A-4A-5A";
to a byte array like this
byte[] b = new byte[] { 0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66, 0x77, 0x88, 0x99, 0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x3A, 0x4A, 0x5A };
s
.Split('-')
.Select(part => byte.Parse(part, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber))
.ToArray();
HexNumber, not Hex.First off, remove all dashes from your string.
string str = "00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99-00-11-22-3A-4A-5A";
// remove all except hex compliant chars
Regex rgx = new Regex("[^a-fA-F0-9]");
// now do the stripping
str = rgx.Replace(str, "");
Better stripping and checking if the string is actually hex can be implemented here but for this lets keep it simple.
Then use this function
public static byte[] StringToByteArray(string hex) {
return Enumerable.Range(0, hex.Length)
.Where(x => x % 2 == 0)
.Select(x => Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(x, 2), 16))
.ToArray();
}
Then
// actually do the converting
StringToByteArray(str);
Try this:
string s = "00-11-22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99-00-11-22-3A-4A-5A";
var strArray = s.Split('-');
var byteArr = (from item in strArray
select Byte.Parse(item, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber)).ToArray();
Do following steps: Parse all of the string using '-' character and output all of the substrings in an string array, than, add "Ox" at the beginning of all strings in array. Codes below can easily solve your problem in c#.
