`xxd -i` creates header files with hexdumps of any raw file. This simple ruby script saves the content of the header file in raw form.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# read
xxd = IO.read('file.xxd')
# values are comma separated
chars = xxd.split(',')
# with whitespaces
chars.map! {|c| c.strip}
# in hex
chars.map! {|c| c.to_i(16)}
# put back together
xxd = chars.pack('c*')
# write
File.open('file.raw','w') {|f| f.write xxd}
