Hexadecimal Character Counter
Ever been knee-deep in techy text, trying to figure out how many hexadecimal characters (you know, those 0-9 and A-F digits) are lurking in your code or string? It’s like trying to count jellybeans in a jar while wearing mittens—tedious and a little frustrating. But don’t worry! Our Hexadecimal Character Counter is here to save the day. Just paste your text, click a button, and voilà—you’ll get a neat count of all those hex characters, plus a list of which ones showed up. It’s simple, fast, and makes your life a whole lot easier. Whether you’re debugging code, analyzing data, or just satisfying your curiosity, this tool has your back. Now go ahead, give it a try—your mittens will thank you!
Enter text to count hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F).
How It Works
The Hexadecimal Character Counter works by scanning your input text for any characters that fall within the hexadecimal range (0-9 and A-F, case-insensitive). It counts how many of these characters appear in total and also identifies which unique characters are present. Here’s the breakdown:
- Step 1: Paste or type your text into the input box.
- Step 2: Click the "Count Hexadecimal Characters" button.
- Step 3: The tool instantly calculates the total number of hex characters and lists the unique ones found.
Need an example? Let’s say you input the text "Hello 123ABC!". The tool will identify 1, 2, 3, A, B, and C as hexadecimal characters, giving you a total count of 6 and a list of the unique characters found.
