Coldfusion Hash SHA-1 Doesnt look the same as the sample - hash

Im working on a script to hash a "fingerprint" for communicating with the secure Pay Direct Post API.
The issue I have is im trying to create a SHA-1 String that matches the sample code provided so that i can ensure things get posted accurately.
the example Sha-1 string appears encoded like
01a1edbb159aa01b99740508d79620251c2f871d
However my string when converted appears as
7871D5C9A366339DA848FC64CB32F6A9AD8FCADD
completely different...
my code for this is as follows..
<cfset variables.finger_print = "ABC0010|txnpassword|0|Test Reference|1.00|20110616221931">
<cfset variables.finger_print = hash(variables.finger_print,'SHA-1')>
<cfoutput>
#variables.finger_print#
</cfoutput>
Im using Coldfusion 8 to do this
it generates a 40 character hash, but i can see its generating completely different strings.
Hopefully someone out there has done this before and can point me in the right direction...
thanks in advance
** EDIT
The article for creating the Hash only contains the following information.
Example: Setting the fingerprint Fields joined with a | separator:
ABC0010|txnpassword|0|Test Reference|1.00|20110616221931
SHA1 the above string: 01a1edbb159aa01b99740508d79620251c2f871d
When generating the above example string using coldfusion hash it turns it into this
7871D5C9A366339DA848FC64CB32F6A9AD8FCADD

01a1edbb159aa01b99740508d79620251c2f871d
Sorry, but I do not see how the sample string could possibly produce that result given that php, CF and java all say otherwise. I suspect an error in the documentation. The one thing that stands out is the use of "txnpassword" instead of a sample value, like with the other fields. Perhaps they used a different value to produce the string and forgot to plug it into the actual example?
Update:
Example 5.2.1.12, on page 27, makes more sense. Ignoring case, the results from ColdFusion match exactly. I noticed the description also mentions something about a summarycode value, which is absent from the example in section 3.3.6. So that tends to support the theory of documentation error with the earlier example.
Code:
<cfset input = "ABC0010|mytxnpasswd|MyReference|1000|201105231545|1">
<cfoutput>#hash(input, "sha-1")#</cfoutput>
Result:
3F97240C9607E86F87C405AF340608828D331E10

Using the toInteger function with locale and format parameters

I've got a dataflow with a csv file as source. The column NewPositive is a string and it contains numbers formatted in European style with a dot as thousand seperator e.g 1.019 meaning 1019
If I use the function toInteger to convert my NewPositive column to an int via toInteger(NewPositive,'#.###','de'), I only get the thousand cipher e.g 1 for 1.019 and not the rest. Why? For testing I tried creating a constant column: toInteger('1.019','#.###','de') and it gives 1019 as expected. So why does the function not work for my column? The column is trimmed and if I compare the first value with equality function: equals('1.019',NewPositive) returns true.
Please note: I know it's very easy to create a workaround by toInteger(replace(NewPositive,'.','')), but I want to learn how to use the toInteger function with the locale and format parameters.
Here is sample data:
Dato;NewPositive
2021-08-20;1.234
2021-08-21;1.789
I was able to repro this and probably looks to be a bug to me . I have reported this to the ADF team , will let you know once I hear back from them . You already have a work around please go ahead that to unblock yourself .

I'm trying to create a blog page with hugo it gives some annoying errors

This is the config file
baseURL = "https://.github.io/"
languageCode = "en-us"

Title= "Hi there wave"
Content= "Can be Info, links, about..."

This is the error on the powershell

I'm a total beginner in this area its most likely a basic thing but i can't figure it out.
TLDR; Take the equals signs out of your config's toml.
P.s. Their are no equals signs in the [[]] statements.
Some advice:
If your code doesn't work, verify your code (validate)-
https://www.toml-lint.com/
If you don't understand the language syntax when the validator gives you errors, check your specific misunderstanding in that language (that linter will give you more data).
https://github.com/toml-lang/toml
As it's hugo and they have pre-built config files for you to review, review what other people have done that does work:
https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#readout
https://themes.gohugo.io/
Additional, when looking at your question and the wider sphere:
Why do you say annoying error? English isn't my first language. But it's telling you that your toml is miswritten so it can't parse it. The more accurate information you give the more accurate information you will get back from others in the field.
So, a better example would be (and this is an idea):
"HUGO Config.toml errors, uncertain of correct syntax"

How to parse the CAP id instead of a hashed value with Weather::NOAA::Alert in Perl

Thanks to the accepted answer in the following solution, I'm now able to extract most of the values I need from NOAA alerts: perl Data::Dumper to extract key values
I would like to parse the "CAP id" as well, however when I try, I receive a hashed value instead of the URL.
For example, using the previously mentioned thread, what I would like to parse is:
http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwacapget.php?x=TX12516CBE9400.FloodWarning.12516CC068C0TX.MAFFLWMAF.f21e7ce7cf8e930ab73a110c4d912576
What I get instead: HASH(0x26384c0)
I imagine this is only possible by modifying alert.pm:
https://github.com/mikegrb/Weather-NOAA-Alert/blob/master/lib/Weather/NOAA/Alert.pm and if I've read enough into the issue, it may be on account of XML::Simple?
Typically, I would use XPath to parse XML like data, but for this ATOM format I'm lost.
Ultimately, I'm simply looking to add the parsed variables to an SQL database. With NOAA looking to transition from CAP v1.1 to v1.2 (when, I have no clue), perhaps I should be looking at using something else.
In your previous code, you can get the single key of the hashref $events->{'TXC301'} like this:
my #keys = keys %{$events->{'TXC301'}}
my $alert_url = $keys[0]
Now $alert_url should hold the URL you were mentioning.
Does this answer your question?

Solr search error when dealing with Arabic string

I'm struggling with Solr search Arabic for several days and made some experiment. Here is the simple reflection of the problem.
After I store some Arabic sentence (now only 1 word السوري ) into database and have Solr index it, then query it by q=*:*&wt=python,(if no wt part, it was garbled chars) the response is:
'\u00d8\u00a7\u00d9\u201e\u00d8\u00b3\u00d9\u02c6\u00d8\u00b1\u00d9\u0160'
The actual word I store there for index is coding in another way:
'\xd8\xa7\xd9\x84\xd8\xb3\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x8a'
As you can tell, there is a one-to-to corresponding from \xd8↔\u00d8. But I don't know what is the name of this coding, thus I cannot convert it. And when I do the search as: <>/select/?q=السوري&wt=python,the response is:
{'responseHeader':{'status':0,'QTime':0,'params':{'wt':'python','q':u'\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u0631\u064a'}},'response':{'numFound':0,'start':0,'docs':[]}}
No docs found and it seems using a third version for coding u'\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u0631\u064a'. if I take it and encode('utf8') then it convert back to '\xd8\xa7\xd9\x84\xd8\xb3\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x8a'.
In summary, when it (السوري) is in my code (python) or in data base (mysql),
it presents as 'form1':
'\xd8\xa7\xd9\x84\xd8\xb3\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x8a'
When it is indexed by Solr, it converts to form2:
'\u00d8\u00a7\u00d9\u201e\u00d8\u00b3\u00d9\u02c6\u00d8\u00b1\u00d9\u0160'
And when I use <>/select/?q=السوري&wt=python, to query from browser (Google chrome), it becomes form3:
'\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u0631\u064a'
(which could convert back to form1 by encode('utf8') But since they are different, the search matches nothing.
Therefore, those three different encode strategy may be the core problem. Could anyone help me figure it out and solve the search problem?
Thanks in advance.

Which hash function can this be?

I have some strings and some hashes of them, but I don't know which hash function is used. Any idea?

Edit:
Thank for answers, it's a hash of the captcha.
https://registracia.azet.sk/
If you check URL of captcha image, on the end is HASH value. This
On the server are send in HTTP POST are send TEXT: (P92M4) and HASH (72fec89a2e0ade2) and other values.
I like know how comptute hash of the TEXT P92M4, and control with HASH value, which is send on server.
Because I like make own captcha system for my school project, so I first analyzing situation and weakness.
As I understand your situation, a POST request sends both the "text" and the "hash" to the CAPTCHA server. This then uses whatever hash function they use to hash your text, checks to see if it matches the hash, and decides whether or not you succeeded. Presumably, the server sends you the image, as well as the hash, and then you enter the text.
As such, if you figured out the hashing function, you'd have completely broken this CAPTCHA system: All you would need to do is hash any string using their hashing function, and then when sending your POST request, ignore the hash they sent you and merely send them your computed text and hash pair. Thus, you could very easily automate successfully passing the CAPTCHA challenge.
To illustrate how difficult "reversing" the hash might be, consider the following hash that they very well might use:
Split the TEXT up alternating letters: thus ABCDE becomes ACE and BD
md5 the two halves using salts "fj49w0utw4a" and "r8h3wlsd"
md5("fj49w0utw4a"."ACE") is 115c05f0e5300f958ba01caa64b989f
md5("r8h3wlsd"."BD") is 74eecae86ef46382eb95443a1b1fa8f5
Take every 3rd char of the first string and every 4th char of the second, and alternate them until you have 15 chars
115c05f0e5300f958ba01caa64b989f becomes 55e09b1ab9
74eecae86ef46382eb95443a1b1fa8f5 becomes e8425af5
Final hash value for "ABCDE": 5e58e40295ba1fa
There is really no way you are ever going to reverse engineer that.
UPDATE
Note that CAPTCHAs as described above (and implemented on that site) are extremely insecure, as they only require one valid text/hash combination to be known
To demonstrate, use Firebug or equivalent and navigate to the CAPTCHA area of the form. We will be editing some hidden values.
Change the form[captcha_url] value from https://pokec.azet.sk/sluzby/system/captcha/[somehash] to https://pokec.azet.sk/sluzby/system/captcha/ee2be1f239e5d17
Change the form[captcha_hash] value from [somehash] to ee2be1f239e5d17
Regardless of what the picture says, type "P22KD" for the CAPTCHA
There are several ways to mitigate this vulnerability. As Tangrs suggested, you can store the hash value in a session variable so that it cannot be manipulated by the client. Less elegant but also effective is to store the submitted CAPTCHA in a database and not allow duplicate CAPTCHAs, as is implemented on the link in the question. This is fine, until you start running out of unused CAPTCHAs and end up getting collisions.
Seems smaller than any industry hash... possibly it's propriety?
A bit more info would help though, what language, where did you get it from?
