vTextFromHex
Converts a Base16 Hex encoded string to ASCII text The "Input" field is used to supply the block of HEX encoded content. The "Separator" text field allows you to enter a value like a space, a tab, a dash, a semicolon, or other character that is present between the Base16 encoded number groups. This user supplied separator information is then used to guide the decoding process. The "Remove Non-Printable Characters" control will automatically remove any ASCII characters that are control characters. In software like the macOS based BBEdit text editor, a non-printable character in a text file would be described as a "Gremlin" and this process would be called "Zapping Gremlins". A sample Hex string that says "Hello World!" is "48656C6C6F20576F726C6421".
