To Hex

Category: Encoding

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

Input / output: ArrayBuffer → string

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

What it does

Converts the input string to hexadecimal bytes separated by the specified delimiter. e.g. The UTF-8 encoded string Γειά σου becomes ce 93 ce b5 ce b9 ce ac 20 cf 83 ce bf cf 85 0a

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`	`'Space'`	`'Space'`, `'Percent'`, `'Comma'`, `'Semi-colon'`, `'Colon'`, `'Line feed'`, `'CRLF'`, `'0x'`, `'0x with comma'`, `'\\x'`, `'None'`
`1`	Bytes per line	`number`	`0`	A Python integer or floating-point value

Working recipe example

from pychef import bake

input_value = b"ABC"
args = ['None', 0]
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'To Hex', "args": args}])
print(result)

Expected representation: 414243.

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = ['None', 0]
transform = Pipeline().then('To Hex', *args)
result = transform(b"ABC")

Direct call

pychef.ops.run_operation runs any registered operation as a plain function, under the active ExecutionPolicy (safe defaults, no network):

from pychef.ops import run_operation

args = ['None', 0]
result = run_operation('To Hex', b"ABC", args=args)

Common operations also have typed helpers in Direct operations.

Low-level operation module

Warning

The module below is an internal implementation detail. It applies no execution policy, resource limits, or error sanitization; prefer bake(), Pipeline, or pychef.ops for application code.

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

from pychef.operations.by_operation.to_hex import run

result = run(b"ABC", tuple(['None', 0]))

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

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

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

Return type:

str | bytes
