I am having trouble figuring out how to translate a string (named str) into a Data buffer (named strData) that can be decoded using this particular process: strData.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)})
import Foundation
let str = "Hello world"
let strData: Data = str.data(using: .utf8)! // Wrong. What here?
let decoded = strData.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)})
print(decoded == str)
The print statement should print true.
This is Testable here.
Thank you.

decodedis obviously a bunch of hex characters, which never equals "Hello world". What do you actually want to compare?

I need to feed a known string value to a function that uses this particular.reducein order to retrieve it. The library assumes the data will be fed using a Data buffer, so I need to convert my string into it.

That.reducemethod always generate a hex string representation of the data, which will never equal to the original string.

Nov 5 at 3:48
Assuming the original string is a hex representation, then, would this be possible? or would the decoded value not equal the original hex value?

If the original string is a hex representation, you can easily find some hex to data method to turn it intoData, like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/26503955/10317684
