    Hex to Ascii conversion

    Hi there,

    It seems that this question has been asked quite a few times. But all previous posts were unique. Anyway, what I would like to know is how would I go by converting a hex string to an ascii string?

    Input a hex string such as: C17070220X!f1d0 9e39 f8ef eb0a

    Ouput the ascii equivalent…

    I have searched the net with now luck…

    Please, any suggestions and guidance will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.
    Ryno

    The problem can be broken down into how to turn a string of hexadecimal characters into a list of integral values within the range of the ASCII character set. I know for a fact that the question of how to convert hexadecimal to decimal has been raised before, and from there it's a short leap to a conditional test for the range.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    They might be unique but the basic operation is the same for all of them. If you search the forum im sure you will find what you are looking for.
    When no one helps you out. Call google();
