Large Ascii conversion

[mike1234]

I have a rather large file that is saved as hex ascii ie a=61 so basically the file would read "616263646566", I would like to convert that to "abcdef" but the chr function only converts decimal ascii values. Right now when I read it I get 61 = "=". Is there a way to toggel this so it converts hex and is that the most effecient way of converting it? The file is quite large.

Thanks

This gives you the idea. If your file is more than one line, make a loop.

$ReadStr = '0x' & FileReadLine("your_file.txt")
$Str = BinaryToString($ReadStr, 1)
ConsoleWrite('Converted data is: ' & $Str & @LF) ; or write to a file

If you know or suspect that the source is an image of UTF-8 (Unicode) text, then use the relevant flag in BinaryToString.

_HexToString should do the trick.
