The event logs can be obtain via getReceipt for specific transaction. However, the data is not friendly.

How can i parse those topics , data and the event name ?

the receipt of a specific transaction can be that

>eth.getTransactionReceipt("0xd177dfaa34ac9292d16b550515be05ab1e4b3cdd12f9857e8842fbfc8f8d6794")

the topic field and data field is all in hex encode. It not friendly. How can i parse those hex string to get semantics value?

Besides, it is same to input field when an account sends a tx to contract. The input field like that

        input:"0x797af627af036571d10c371233bfad0aa6eb1d38671b893d819d5fba2be2df2854ad92c8"

the first 4 bytes is the signature of the function and the rest of the data is the parameters of function. How can i make it more semantic

  • Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers.

  • @niksmac, I think the question is seeking for a general best practice to parse event results. I see the value in that Aug 1, 2016 at 6:27
  • I think it returns JSON data. You can easily read them as desired.

    @RolandKofler of course you do. I was reading must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself
