Re: Converting Hex String ASCII Char

You could try another search/replace using the built in chr() and hex() routines:

echo "41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49" | perl -ape 's/([0-9a-f]+)/chr(hex($
+1))/eg;'
[download]

Which should give you "A B C D E F G H I".

* - modified the regex based on kyles observation (good catch)

Since the OP is actually matching hex, the `\d` pattern won't work. You'll need to use `[0-9a-f]` instead.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

good catch kyle, I kind of whipped that one off the cuff just using his data.
