Re: Howto convert hex to string

This data isn't hex, but decimal (according to man ascii anyway)

$> perl -e 'print pack("i*", $_) for(qw/84 67 49 67 83 50 79/)'

If you have really hex-values, change i to h

perl -e 'print pack("h*", $_) for(qw/H E X V A L U E S/)'

for a closer look, read perldoc -f pack.

Or simpler still `shell> perl -le 'print map chr, qw/84 67 49 67 83 50 79/' TC1CS2O` [download] And if you're dealing with hex values `shell> perl -le 'print map { chr hex } qw/54 43 31 43 53 32 4f/' TC1CS2O` [download] See. `map`, `chr` and `hex` for more info.
