How do I decode this text?

Question

I have a friend who has code like this in his wordpress files:

Blockquote \x66\x75\x6e\x63\x74\x69 Blockquote

And so on...

How do I decode this? Is there an online tool to do it?

The text is an ASCII representation of some hexidecimal characters, how you would decode it would depend very much on the programming language you were using. Here is a sample of a recent hex to ASCII post that may be helpful.

You can decode it online using the 'Hex to ASCII' tool at: http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/encrypter/index.php

You don't paste in the 'Blockquote', but everything in between the blockquote tags.

It works with the mode "Hex to ASCII" and all "\x" removed. The function return the string value "functi", as Blah said. – guerda Jan 08 '09 at 17:05
It even works with the \x markers left intact, so there's no need to manipulate the string. – Matt Poush Jan 08 '09 at 17:11

It's just hex... It converts to: "functi"
