Hex to Binary function

Getting Help
1

Hey there, where can I find a function to convert a hex string like “054C” into binary string like;
“0000010101001100”

I search the whole Google and found nothing. I got a Delphi function but I don’t know how to rewrite it in GO, below Delphi code;

function HexToBin(Hexadecimal: string): string;
const
  BCD: array [0..15] of string =
    ('0000', '0001', '0010', '0011', '0100', '0101', '0110', '0111',
    '1000', '1001', '1010', '1011', '1100', '1101', '1110', '1111');
var
  I : integer;
begin
  for I := Length(Hexadecimal) downto 1 do
    Result := BCD[StrToInt('$' + Hexadecimal[i])] + Result;
end;

And below my GO try, but I dunno how is that done in GO, I mean, the code line inside for loop;

func HexToBin(Hexadecimal string) string {
  var BCD = [16]string {
    "0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", "0100", "0101", "0110", "0111",
    "1000", "1001", "1010", "1011", "1100", "1101", "1110", "1111"}
  var Rst string
  for I := len(Hexadecimal); I > 1; I-- {
    Rst = BCD[StrToInt('$' + Hexadecimal[i])] + Rst;
  }
}

Could anyone help me with this line?

Rst = BCD[StrToInt('$' + Hexadecimal[i])] + Rst;

Tnx.

Its easier to use strconv.ParseUint and fmt.Sprintf:

If I put 4 bytes it gives me wrong result, example, If I put 1 hex byte, it should give me an 8 digit sequence like 0000 0000, 2 bytes = 0000 0000 0000 0000, 3 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000…

How about this?

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func Hex2Bin(in byte) string {
    var out []byte
    for i := 7; i >= 0; i-- {
        b := (in >> uint(i))
        out = append(out, (b%2)+48)
    }
    return string(out)
}

func main() {
    for r := 0; r < 256; r++ {
        fmt.Printf("%v: %v\n", r, Hex2Bin(byte(r)))
    }
}

The Go equivalent of StrToInt is strconv.ParseInt. Instead of adding a prefix to indicate the base, you should specify the base directly, as the second parameter.

Since ParseInt can return an error, you can’t use it directly in the array subscript. You need to put it on a separate line and handle the error:

v, err := strconv.ParseUint(Hexadecimal[i:i+1], 16, 8)
if err != nil {
    return "", err // or whatever you decide to do with the error
}
Rst = BCD[v] + Rst

how can I transform string to bin? just like hex2bin in PHP. (“96659ee67b39f2d9c3418cddaa307c5e1640a6e883f3fa9540e846ad1221b990ba9ac28ebb2e4daf2ea039cc929b9e7d6c9b3a7”)

just a hex string itself
