How to convert ASCII characters to their Hex value... - Splunk Community

Splunk Search

There are plenty of answers to the question of how to convert Hex into ASCII using a combination of rex/replace and urldecode.

However, I am looking to do the opposite. I have binary data in a field and I would like to convert it to hex values.

Sample data:

����$P/�Dl ������E��4K@��v���3>n� �

I do not simply want to strip this data because I actually would like to do something with it once it's been converted.

I also would like to do it preferably using an eval statement so I can create a field calculation based on this.

Any thoughts or ideas?

It is too late; it went in wrong. Fix incoming data like this:
