Question

Is there any way by which we can directly convert a hexadecimal value to its string equivalent form using some built-in function in java.

Like for example:

Input:”68656c70″

Output:”help”

I know how to do the opposite using built-in function but does for this problem one exist???

Answer 1

For a one liner try

String hex = "68656c70";
String text = new String(new BigInteger(hex, 16).toByteArray(), 0);
System.out.println(text);
