Question

I am trying to convert a string like \"testing123\" into hexadecimal form in java. I am currently using BlueJ.

And to convert it back, is it the same thing except b

Answer 1

check this solution for String to hex and hex to String vise-versa

public class TestHexConversion {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try{
        String clearText = "testString For;0181;with.love";
        System.out.println("Clear Text  = " + clearText);
        char[] chars = clearText.toCharArray();
        StringBuffer hex = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
            hex.append(Integer.toHexString((int) chars[i]));
        }
        String hexText = hex.toString();
        System.out.println("Hex Text  = " + hexText);
        String decodedText = HexToString(hexText);
        System.out.println("Decoded Text = "+decodedText);
    } catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public static String HexToString(String hex){

      StringBuilder finalString = new StringBuilder();
      StringBuilder tempString = new StringBuilder();

      for( int i=0; i

Output as follows :

Clear Text = testString For;0181;with.love

Hex Text = 74657374537472696e6720466f723b303138313b776974682e6c6f7665

Decoded Text = testString For;0181;with.love
