    Suppose the hex text is stored as myHexFile.txt. Then you could proceed like this

    <cffile action="read" file="C:\Coldfusion8\wwwroot\test\myHexFile.txt" variable="myHex">

    <cfset myBinary=binaryDecode(myHex,"hex")>
    <cfset myString = charsetEncode(myBinary,"utf-8")>

    <!--- Alternative --->

    <!--- <cfset myString = toString(toBinary(toBase64(myBinary,"UTF-8")))>--->


    <cfoutput>#myString#</cfoutput>
