platform i386/w32, cygwin and access to Net/Free BSD.
how do i convert large amounts of ASCII encoded byte-length HEX values dumped from metaedit to its ASCII character counterparts?
EG (real string is MUCH larger);
i have (in a text file): '54-65-6B-2D-54-69-70-73',
i need: 'Tek-Tips'.
i dont understand why i should have to fragment my data and repeatedly use hex2ascii base converters or calculators, someone must have come across this before and wrote something that can handle large amounts of ascii hex-dumped data, if not then ill certainly write something.
(de|)constructive criticism is welcome.
