Question:

  • Is there a known tool to convert a file consisting of 2 byte Hex into ascii?

Note: - Maintain file offset listing in bytes

Example:

File contents:

00000000  0054 0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065 0073
00000008  0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074 0020 0054
00000016  0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074
00000024  0020 0054 0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065
00000032  0073 0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074 0020
00000040  0054 0065 0073 0074 000a 0054 0065 0073
00000048  0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074 0020 0054
00000056  0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074
00000064  0020 0054 0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065

Expected output

00000016  0065 0073 0074 0020 0054 0065 0073 0074  |est Test Test Te|
