[SOLVED] Converting hex into different ASCII characters

[Gleasonator]

Hi guys. I have something a bit weird I'm doing. But here's an example of a hex string that I have.

 

142c2332231f00000000000000000000

 

Now, when this is decoded into text, the output is like so:

 

,#2#����������

 

The text that I would like to output is:

 

Trixie

 

To clear things up a bit, the hex string is dumped from a portion of a save file of video game. However, in the video game it renders "14" = T, "2c" = r, "23" = i... and so forth.

 

So I would like to convert my "hex" string into a string that can be read. I know what all the values equal, but using a strreplace doesn't work (I have one "find" array, one "replace" array, and a variable containing the string then I use str_replace($find, $replace, $str);) because you get conflicts. When applying a strreplace to:

 

142c2332231f00000000000000000000

 

The output is:

 

Tri3h3e

 

Does anyone know of any better way I should approach this?

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT:

 

In case anyone wants to look at it, here's what I have so far. I've actually not gathered all the values yet (as you can see; several chunks in the $find array only have "". But I do have enough that I should be able to convert the hex mentioned above)

 

		$find = array(
		"00",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"3a",
		"3b",
		"3c",
		"3d",
		"3e",
		"01", "1b",
		"02", "1c",
		"03", "1d",
		"04", "1e",
		"05", "1f",
		"06", "20",
		"07", "21",
		"08", "22",
		"09", "23",
		"0a", "24",
		"0b", "25",
		"0c", "26",
		"0d", "27",
		"0e", "28",
		"0f", "29",
		"10", "2a",
		"11", "2b",
		"12", "2c",
		"13", "2d",
		"14", "2e",
		"15", "2f",
		"16", "",
		"17", "",
		"18", "32",
		"19", "33",
		"1a", "34",
	);

	$replace = array(
		"",
		"0",
		"1",
		"2",
		"3",
		"4",
		"5",
		"6",
		"7",
		"8",
		"9",
		"A", "a",
		"B", "b",
		"C", "c",
		"D", "d",
		"E", "e",
		"F", "f",
		"G", "g",
		"H", "h",
		"I", "i",
		"J", "j",
		"K", "k",
		"L", "l",
		"M", "m",
		"N", "n",
		"O", "o",
		"P", "p",
		"Q", "q",
		"R", "r",
		"S", "s",
		"T", "t",
		"U", "u",
		"V", "v",
		"W", "w",
		"X", "x",
		"Y", "y",
		"Z", "z",
	);

	$output = str_replace($find, $replace, $str);

Ah, never mind, guys. I got it myself.

 

	function get_pattern_name($filename)
{
	$open = fopen($filename, "r");
	$read = fread($open, filesize($filename));
	$str = substr(bin2hex($read), 1068, 32);
	$arr = str_split($str, 2);

	$find = array(
		"00",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"",
		"3a",
		"3b",
		"3c",
		"3d",
		"3e",
		"01", "1b",
		"02", "1c",
		"03", "1d",
		"04", "1e",
		"05", "1f",
		"06", "20",
		"07", "21",
		"08", "22",
		"09", "23",
		"0a", "24",
		"0b", "25",
		"0c", "26",
		"0d", "27",
		"0e", "28",
		"0f", "29",
		"10", "2a",
		"11", "2b",
		"12", "2c",
		"13", "2d",
		"14", "2e",
		"15", "2f",
		"16", "",
		"17", "",
		"18", "32",
		"19", "33",
		"1a", "34",
	);

	$replace = array(
		"",
		"0",
		"1",
		"2",
		"3",
		"4",
		"5",
		"6",
		"7",
		"8",
		"9",
		"A", "a",
		"B", "b",
		"C", "c",
		"D", "d",
		"E", "e",
		"F", "f",
		"G", "g",
		"H", "h",
		"I", "i",
		"J", "j",
		"K", "k",
		"L", "l",
		"M", "m",
		"N", "n",
		"O", "o",
		"P", "p",
		"Q", "q",
		"R", "r",
		"S", "s",
		"T", "t",
		"U", "u",
		"V", "v",
		"W", "w",
		"X", "x",
		"Y", "y",
		"Z", "z",
	);

	$output = implode(str_replace($find, $replace, $arr));

	return $output;
