Hm....... Strange works fine here (Solaris).
Try changing
Code:
n=split($2, vA,OFS)

to
Code:
n=split($2, vA," ")

BTW, what OS are you on?

tried some tr stuff again and got it to work this time

used
Code:
tr "\000" " " < inputFile > outputFile

Thank you so much for the help and patience!

Actually should of done this first time, just deleted the null character rather than replace it

Code:
tr -d "\000" <input > output

Hmmm... strange printf implementation of your awk...

Change
Code:
/^(Hardware|SW Version)=/ {
  printf("%s",$1 "[")
  n=split($2, vA,OFS)
  for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
     printf("%c%s", hex2str(vA[i]), (i==n)? "]"ORS:"")
  next
}

to this:
Code:
/^(Hardware|SW Version)=/ {
  printf("%s",$1 "[")
  n=split($2, vA,OFS)
  for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
     printf("%c", hex2str(vA[i]))
  print "]" ORS
  next
}
