I’m attempting to decode text which is prefixing certain ‘special characters’ with \x. I’ve worked out the following mappings by hand:
\x28 (
\x29 )
\x3a :
e.g. 12\x3a39\x3a03 AM
Does anyone recognise what this encoding is?
It’s ASCII. All occurrences of the four characters
\xSTare converted to 1 character, whose ASCII code isST(in hexadecimal), whereSandTare any of0123456789abcdefABCDEF.
