Conversion hex string into ascii in bash command line

bash, hex

Solution

This worked for me.

$ echo 54657374696e672031203220330 | xxd -r -p
Testing 1 2 3$

`-r` tells it to convert hex to ascii as opposed to its normal mode of doing the opposite

`-p` tells it to use a plain format.

Problem

I have a lot of this kind of string and I want to find a command to convert it in ascii, I tried with `echo -e` and `od`, but it did not work. ``` 0xA7.0x9B.0x46.0x8D.0x1E.0x52.0xA7.0x9B.0x7B.0x31.0xD2 ```
