in thread hex in regexp

Sorry, I did not understand your answer at all.

what is the meaning of $freeStuff and $stuff

Could you please provide more vivid example or direction.

See, I assumed an XY Problem . I assumed what you really wanted to do was use an already existing encoder/serializer, instead of inventing your own, so I showed you two which use hex encoded characters. One which only does strings (CGI->escape) and one which does complex data structures (JSON)

I guess since this might be homework a practical solution doesn't fit :)
