read eeprom data which is stored as intel hex code

[lgeorge123]

I know that intel hex code format is ascii and if I store some data into eeprom using this format by programmer . After reading from eeprom is it needed to convert to hex code , that is if data is 00 03 , intel hex code format is 30 30 30 33 ?????

[PCM programmer]

The programmer does not write the ASCII Hex file bytes directly to
eeprom. It converts them into binary bytes first.

Example:

If the Hex file has "56" in it, this is represented by two ASCII bytes
of '5' and '6'. The values are: 0x35 0x36

When the programmer (ICD2, etc.) writes the byte to eeprom in your
PIC, it does not write ASCII bytes of '5' and '6'. It converts those two
bytes to one binary integer byte of 0x56. It writes one byte of 0x56 to
eeprom.
