I was wondering if it is possible to convert a string to a bytes32 or bytes in solidity like this, I want an input in string and require an equivalent bytes32 and bytes both.

input string = "0x8f54f1c2d0eb5771cd5bf67a6689fcd6eed9444d91a39e5ef32a9b4ae5ca14ff" output bytes32 = 0x8f54f1c2d0eb5771cd5bf67a6689fcd6eed9444d91a39e5ef32a9b4ae5ca14ff

input string = "0xd724b8592f7962a584cfedcacc2e308292f19f5245be8bdecb42354277d3a8674266a8d0b0f2fcdcdc42bc295e2bf6378da440ed7bcb022a154c8a28a825ddb301"

output bytes = 0xd724b8592f7962a584cfedcacc2e308292f19f5245be8bdecb42354277d3a8674266a8d0b0f2fcdcdc42bc295e2bf6378da440ed7bcb022a154c8a28a825ddb301

I have already looked into this link: How to convert a bytes32 to string but this is not working and returning different values than above.

  • The bytes32 equivalence of a string would be the ASCII encoding of that string (not what you're describing in your question).

  • What's the use case for this? Can't you just make your function take bytes32 in the first place? That would keep the gas usage a lot lower.

  • I am okay with the gas usage. I want to provide input as a JSON to a function. The Json contains two values as given below: '{"Data":"0x8f54f1c2d0eb5771cd5bf67a6689fcd6eed9444d91a39e5ef32a9b4ae5ca14ff","Signature":"0xd724b8592f7962a584cfedcacc2e308292f19f5245be8bdecb42354277d3a8674266a8d0b0f2fcdcdc42bc295e2bf6378da440ed7bcb022a154c8a28a825ddb301"}'. I get the values from JSON as string. Now I want to convert it to bytes and bytes32 to pass to another function which accepts bytes and bytes32 as an argument.

  • @goodvibration .. i intend to get values as described in the question. Can you please suggest something. I have already tried available solutions but none of them are working

  • You can use ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/39989/… to convert an hex string into a bytes array.
