Hi, Does anyone know how to convert a large (20mb) HEX file into ASCII or another viewable format? What is the fastest method?

You haven't told us what kind of format hex the file is in. There are quite a number of formats available.
I'm not familiar with the different types of HEX files and am not sure what kind this file is.
then show a small piece of it (e.g. CodeWright will dump it) and maybe someone will reciognize it.
Also, if you say why you want it converted to ASCII (I can not see any benfit, but that does not mean that there may not be one).
let Mr. Holmes (whoever in this forum that may be in this case) have a few clues.

I'm a data analysis consultant and am unfamiliar with this data format that I received from a client. We usually receive files in some sort of ascii print or text report and then use analysis tools such as ACL or Monarch to parse them out. Unfortunately, the data is confidential and i can not post. Just was wondering if there is an easy answer...thanks!
If the total data is 20MB large, then it might possibly be ok to send the first 3-5 lines of the HEX data.
If by "Hex" you mean "Intel Hex", then it already is ASCII!
Intel Hex is an ASCII representation of binary data.
The format is described here: http://www.keil.com/support/docs/1584.htm There's also some examples - see if you recognise it!
