Hi Christian,
here is a small bash funtion to convert hex -> ascii, not fine, but it works
since years.
hex2ascii(){
#
# $1 - dot separates hexcode
#
for line in $(echo "$1"| gawk -F"." '{ for (i=1; i <= NF; i++) { print
$i } }' )
do
printf "\x$line"
done
printf "\n"
}
bash-3.00$ hex2ascii 21.A.21.20.4C.61.73.74.20.63.
6F.6E.66.69.67.75.72.61.74.69.6F.6E
!
! Last configuration
bash-3.00$
King regards
Oliver
