Here's a demangling script for you:

  echo hertz-0x3Cmidi.pd | ruby -ne 'puts gsub(/0x(..)/){$1.hex.chr}'

which yields:

  hertz-<midi.pd

but chances are you wanted to say hertz-0x3Emidi.pd

also, in Perl:

  echo hertz-0x3Cmidi.pd | perl -ne 's/(0x..)/chr(eval $1)/ge;print'

This may be helpful whenever demangling is needed in scripts or makefiles.

A Tcl version would be cool, but i'm not *that* good with Tcl regexps.
