I’m learning how hashing algorithms are used around the process of bitcoin address creation.

I’ve read lots of great examples online that, step by step, show the output of each sequential hashing stage - start to finish.

I’ve occasionally copied an outputone of the outputs from one of the steps (from the online 'worked example') using copy (Ctrl C) and usedthen pasted it (Ctrl V) into one of the many online hashing sites to simply confirm the next step in the process to see it for myself.

I’m doing something wrong. Convinced that my simple ‘copy and paste’ approach must be flawed as my hashed output won’t ever match the hashed output ofshown on the example online -never does.

I’ve checked for the hard to see white space and carriage returns but to no avail.

Any comments greatly appreciated regarding what I might be doing wrong when I’m simply double checking each stage for myself ?

Here’s two sites I’ve studied: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format

and two sites I’ve used for checking hashing:
https://hash.online-convert.com/sha256-generator
https://md5calc.com/hash/ripemd160
