hey, Thanks for the reply. With the text means if a file contains some hex characters like this then through the command line or script I should be able to convert the hex values to text. Important is accepting the file as input and converting all the values in it to text values 41 65 72 74 3A 20 49 6E 74 65 72 66 61 63 65 the output of the above should be "APRIL FOOL". Please let me know if you need any further input.
Ankush, Unless I'm mistaken, you want to convert a string of hex values represented in ASCII into its corresponding ASCII string. This should do just that: $ echo "41 50 52 49 4C 20 46 4f 4f 4c 0a"| xxd -r -p APRIL FOOL However, this does NOT result in the text "APRIL FOOL" on your specified input string of: "41 65 72 74 3A 20 49 6E 74 65 72 66 61 63 65" In order to convert your string, we'll need to figure out its encoding format.
