Convert unicode to decimal-CodePudding

I have a string like this which i want to convert to only decimal data:

"\u0006;\u0003\u001588D402"

I'm not sure what the output should look like, but I imagine it should be like this:

"631588D402"

I have tried to separate each hexadecimal data and then join them but have been unable to either separate them or convert them correctly. Any idea?

CodePudding user response：

you can go through the string and if the current char is a hex number you add it to new_s elif char in string.printable you skip it (because it is not a hex number and it is printable so it's not some value) else you convert char to his value and then to hex and add the hex value to new_s

import string


s = "\u0006;\u0003\u001588D402"
new_s = ""
for char in s:
    if char in "0123456789ABCDEF":  # if char is a hex number
        new_s  = char
    # the char isn't a hex number and is printable (removes ;)
    elif char in string.printable:
        pass
    else:
        new_s  = hex(ord(char))[2:]
# in one line:
# new_s = "".join([char if char in "0123456789ABCDEF" else "" if char in string.printable else hex(ord(char))[2:] for char in s])
print(new_s)
