Converting Hexadecimal values to Ascii Text

I am trying to convert a string of hexadecimal values to Ascii text, but I am struggling to find a solution online.

I have split the Hexadecimal values into groups of 2, and then converted into decimal using hex2dec, and now I want to convert each decimal number to Ascii text but cannot find a function in Matlab, or a solution online to do this?

Is there a function in Matlab to convert any hexadecimal value to Ascii text? Should I convert the hexadecimal numbers into binary/octal instead of decimal?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Carolyn

Where is this "string of hexadecimal values"? Almost certainly it already is character; Matlab doesn't have any other native way to display hex data.

Show us, don't just try to describe something; give us code and data to look at; we can't see your terminal from here to know from whence to start.

E.g., using the char( ) function:

>> h = '41'
h =
41
>> d = hex2dec(h)
d =
    65
>> c = char(d)
c =
A

You can convert decimal values to string. Then, there is a way to convert string to ascii using double command. The following link may help you.
