file names from hex to ascii

[polemicz]

I just recovered data on a hard drive whose table got trashed and used photrec to recover the data. It, however, recovers the title of the files into hex, save the "extension" ( these are from my son's external drive which was a fat32 on his Windows system and contain his music collection, so the files are now named something like f548397.mp4). I've not been able to come across a utility to do this. I looked at convmv, but that doesn't seem to do it. There may be, I hope, some simple way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't find anything then

ls | hexdump -C

provides a base...

This could be put into a perl or awk (cut/paste)

 

With for instance (and don't run this Im going out but Ill get back tomorrow)

find . -name "*.mp3" -exec mv '{}' $HOME \;

 

I need to think about piping it but should work if I can take output from the ASCI column of hexdump...

In looking around via Google and looking at the "names" of the files, it seems Photrec does not recover the file names, so these characters are just that.
