in reply to Length of unpacked string for "hex" data
As a side note, and probably displaying my ignorance, I wonder why the "H" specifier deals with nibbles as its basic unit and not bytes. Dealing with "hex" data by the byte would seem to be the far more common operation.
I would suspect dealing with nybbles, vice bytes, makes it easier when one has to deal with BCD
