I'm wondering how to convert a hex string to a human readable string (if that makes any sense) this would be my first real encounter with hex values so I'm still learning about them and how to manage them.

I have a program which is reading in data from a file which contains raw packet data (hex) and I need to parse this information so it's human readable.

An example of what I need to do is something like this site does http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ where you can put in hex and have it converted to text.
