I have a plaintext file that I wish to convert to something I can extract.

00000000  52 61 72 21 1a 07 01 00  f3 e1 82 eb 0b 01 05 07  |Rar!............|

00000010  00 06 01 01 80 80 80 00  3b fd 42 9f 51 02 03 31  |........;.B.Q..1|

00000020  a0 02 06 82 03 80 83 02  20 15 d4 6e 5b 46 b6 57  |........ ..n[F.W|

00000030  80 03 01 09 69 6e 73 74  72 2e 74 78 74 30 01 00  |....instr.txt0..|

00000040  03 0f 44 a5 ce af b3 09  b9 96 44 22 f4 99 ef 04  |..D.......D"....|

This is part of the file which made me believe it is a rar file. I tried using xxd with the -r option to no avail.

I tried the solution from here but it also didn't work.

Any ideas?

To solve my own question, and for future reference.

Use vim's visual block select to copy just the hex values into 'justhexvalues.txt'.

Then use xxd:

xxd -r -p justhexvalues.txt answer.rar

That was it.
