将一串表示16进制的字符串转换成NSData

/**
 将16进制字符串转换成data值和字符串字符相等的NSData
 比如输入@"3e435fab9c34891f"
 输出的NSData的byte是3e435fab9c34891f

 @param hexString 16进制字符串
 @return 转换后NSData
 */

        NSLog(@"int_ch=%d",int_ch);
        bytes[i/2] = int_ch;  ///将转化后的数放入Byte数组里
    }
    NSData *newData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:bytes length:bytesCount];
    NSLog(@"newData=%@",newData);
    return newData;
}

YYKit里面也有相应的处理方法

+ (NSData *)dataWithHexString:(NSString *)hexStr {
    hexStr = [hexStr stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];
    hexStr = [hexStr lowercaseString];
    NSUInteger len = hexStr.length;
    if (!len) return nil;
    unichar *buf = malloc(sizeof(unichar) * len);
    if (!buf) return nil;
    [hexStr getCharacters:buf range:NSMakeRange(0, len)]; // 把char存入buf
    
    NSMutableData *result = [NSMutableData data];
    unsigned char bytes;
    char str[3] = { '\0', '\0', '\0' };
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < len / 2; i++) {
        str[0] = buf[i * 2];// 高4位
        str[1] = buf[i * 2 + 1]; // 低4位
        bytes = strtol(str, NULL, 16); // 将串转换为长整数
        [result appendBytes:&bytes length:1];
    }
    free(buf);
    return result;
}
