在 Python 中将十六进制字符串表示形式转换为实际字节

Question

i need to load the third column of this text file as a hex string

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/1.6/external/skia/emoji/gmojiraw.txt

>>> open('gmojiraw.txt').read().split('\n')[0].split('\t')[2]
'\\xF3\\xBE\\x80\\x80'

how do i open the file so that i can get the third column as hex string:

'\xF3\xBE\x80\x80'

i also tried binary mode and hex mode, with no success.

Answer 1

You can:

1. Remove the \\x -es
2. Use .decode('hex') on the resulting string

Code:

>>> '\\xF3\\xBE\\x80\\x80'.replace('\\x', '').decode('hex')
'\xf3\xbe\x80\x80'

Note the appropriate interpretation of backslashes. When the string representation is '\\xf3' it means it's a single-byte string with the byte value 0xF3. When it's '\\\\xf3', which is your input, it means a string consisting of 4 characters: \\ , x , f and 3

Answer 2

Quick'n'dirty reply

your_string.decode('string_escape')

>>> a='\\xF3\\xBE\\x80\\x80'
>>> a.decode('string_escape')
'\xf3\xbe\x80\x80'
>>> len(_)
4

Bonus info

>>> u='\uDBB8\uDC03'
>>> u.decode('unicode_escape')

Some trivia

What's interesting, is that I have Python 2.6.4 on Karmic Koala Ubuntu ( sys.maxunicode==1114111 ) and Python 2.6.5 on Gentoo ( sys.maxunicode==65535 ); on Ubuntu, the unicode_escape-decode result is \?\? and on Gentoo it's u'\\U000fe003' , both correctly of length 2. Unless it's something fixed between 2.6.4 and 2.6.5, I'm impressed the 2-byte-per-unicode-character Gentoo version reports the correct character.

Answer 3

If you are using Python2.6+ here is a safe way to use eval

>>> from ast import literal_eval
>>> item='\\xF3\\xBE\\x80\\x80'
>>> literal_eval("'%s'"%item)
'\xf3\xbe\x80\x80'

Answer 4

去掉 "\\x" 作为 Eli 的答案后，你可以这样做：

int("F3BE8080",16)

Answer 5

如果您信任来源，则可以使用eval('"%s"' % data)
