i have a file in hex looking like below
9C CB CB 8D 13 75 D2 11 91 58 00 C0 4F 79 56 A4
60 00 00 00 92 02 00 00 40 1F 00 00 80 14 00 00
A4 08 00 00 90 02 00 00 A0 09 01 00 40 AE 00 00
E4 27 00 00 90 02 00 00 A0 09 01 00 FC 7A 00 00
84 31 01 00 CF 01 00 00 A0 09 01 00 14 A7 00 00
24 3B 02 00 75 02 00 00 A0 09 01 00 50 8D 00 00
C4 44 03 00 14 02 00 00 A0 09 01 00 20 35 00 00
64 4E 04 00 C8 00 00 00 90 02 00 00 E8 03 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 CA 01 00 00 A4 00 00 00
first sixteen bytes (9C CB CB 8D 13 75 D2 11 91 58 00 C0 4F 79 56 A4) are showing header of my file.

This will convert the hexadecimal input to characters, and print them out (though the numbers 80 and greater won't actually be ASCII, since they're outside the range defined by ASCII):
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
int main() {
std::transform(std::istream_iterator<std::string>(std::cin),
std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
std::ostream_iterator<char>(std::cout),
[](std::string const &in) {
return (char) strtol(in.c_str(), NULL, 16);
});
}
I'm not sure how much good that'll do for you, but it seems to be what you're asking, and without more information on what you really want, it's about as good as I think anybody can probably do.
