The following works for me on a 64-bit system:

  values = fscanf (fid, "%lx");

but I get an empty result on a 32-bit system when the numbers are wider
than 32 bits (hex strings longer than 8 digits):

  values = [](0x1)

If that's what you're seeing, have you tried reading in strings and
converting with hex2dec?
