Re: how to print 'normal' string from hex string?

in reply to how to print 'normal' string from hex string?

Expanding Eliya's reply slightly.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E ' > $hex = q{4d414a523e576573742d622053544d2d31204d532d41495328434c45415 +229}; > $str = unpack q{a*}, pack q{H*}, $hex; > say $str;' MAJR>West-b STM-1 MS-AIS(CLEAR) knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

As BrowserUk points out, the unpack here is not necessary.
