Convert Hexdump to string in c

Question

Is there a way to convert a hexdump e.g. aec4d2f3c6a4e70ea6cea074f65812d2a34b180cc92b817edcd867167e7a91c5beb942f0 to a string in c so that every two hexadecimal digits make a char? If so, what?

Answer 1

Reads from stdin and prints to stdout:

int main() 
{
    int ch;
    while(scanf("%2x", &ch) == 1)
        putchar(ch);
}

I think you can modify it easily yourself for your specific source and destination requirements.
