converting hex to ascii (link fixed - sorry about that)
Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change hex code back into ascii.
when i process a form:
" / " turn to " %2F "
" @ " turns to " %40 "
" ' " turns to " %27 "
" ( " turns to " %28 "
" ) " turns to " %29 "
this is my code so far:
order.txt
thanks,
primal
p.s. hopefully when i log out of my terminal where the file is... the permissions arent reset this time!!

srec_ascii_hex
srec_ascii_hex(5) File Formats Manual srec_ascii_hex(5)
NAME
srec_ascii_hex - Ascii-Hex file format
DESCRIPTION
This format is also known as the Ascii-Space-Hex or Ascii-Hex-Space format. If you know who invented this format, please let me know. If
you have a better or more complete description, I'd like to know that, too.
The file starts with a start-of-text (STX or Control-B) character (0x02). Everything before the STX is ignored.
Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, followed by an "execution character". The default execution character is a
space, although many programs which write this format omit the space character immediately preceding end-of-line.
The address for data bytes is set by using a sequence of $Annnn, characters, where nnnn is the 4-character ascii representation of the
address. The comma is required. There is no need for an address record unless there are gaps. Implicitly, the file starts a address 0 if
no address is set before the first data byte.
The file ends with an end-of-text (ETX or Control-C) character (0x03). Everything following the ETX is ignored.
It is also possible to specify a running 16-bit checksum using a sequence of $Snnnn, characters, although this usually appears after the
ETX character and is thus often ignored.
Variant Forms
In addition to a space character, the execution character can also be percent (%) called "ascii-hex-percent" format, apostrophe (') or
comma (,) called "ascii-hex-comma" format. The file must use the same execution character throughout.
If the execution character is a comma, the address and checksum commands are terminated by a dot (.) rather than a comma (,).
Size Multiplier
In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example ascii-hex file. It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.
^B $A1000,
48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A ^C
