From Hex

Category: Encoding

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: string → byteArray

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

What it does

Converts a hexadecimal byte string back into its raw value. e.g. ce 93 ce b5 ce b9 ce ac 20 cf 83 ce bf cf 85 0a becomes the UTF-8 encoded string Γειά σου

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Index	Name	UI type	PyChef default	Accepted values / format
`0`	Delimiter	`option`	`'Auto'`	`'Auto'`, `'Space'`, `'Percent'`, `'Comma'`, `'Semi-colon'`, `'Colon'`, `'Line feed'`, `'CRLF'`, `'0x'`, `'0x with comma'`, `'\\x'`, `'None'`

Working recipe example

from pychef import bake

input_value = "41 42 43"
args = ['Auto']
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'From Hex', "args": args}])
print(result)

Expected representation: b'ABC'.

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = ['Auto']
transform = Pipeline().then('From Hex', *args)
result = transform("41 42 43")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.from_hex. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.from_hex import run

result = run("41 42 43", tuple(['Auto']))

pychef.operations.by_operation.from_hex.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
