Decodes a hexadecimal encoded string to plain text.
This function takes the Hexadecimal String and decodes it using UTF-8 encoding (unless specified otherwise).
When an Encoding name is specified the value must be a name from Microsoft - Encoding Class list (for example Windows-1252).
For delimited hexadecimal strings use the Delimiter argument to specify the delimiter character, for example hyphen (-), space ( ) or pipebar (|).
SppDecodeHexString([Hexadecimal String], [Encoding], [Delimiter])
Where:
Hexadecimal String is the The hexadecimal encoded string to decode.
