MATLAB: Which is better?converting hexadecimal to string directly or first converting hexa to decimal and then from decimal to string

Question

i have a variable containing hex value..eg:con=63727970746F,now it should be converted to string..How do i do that? Please note that i directly can't take hex value in my code since it gets generated dynamically.. i have to use the variable only!!Please help me.

THANK You

Answer 1

char(sscanf(con, '%2x'))

provided that con is an even length.
