HEX_2_STRING

The HEX_2_STRING script function allows you to convert strings in hexadecimal notation to UTF-8. For example, "4175746F6D6963" converted to UTF-8 would be "Automic". This script function is especially useful for non-printable characters such as CR (carriage return), LF (line feed), TAB (tabulator), etc.), or any combination of printable and non-printable characters.

The following example derives CR and LF as single characters:

:SET &cr# = HEX_2_STRING("0D")
