Description

In strings, normally '\xXX' makes the char at that position chr(int(XX,16)), it converts the hex value XX into that raw byte. However if one of the chars in X is non-decimal (so a-f) it doesn't get recognized.

Steps to Reproduce

Create the string "\x44\xff\x32RandomString\xa4\x4a\x44" in atom, and observe that the bytes with non decimal chars don't get highlighted.

Expected behavior:

All escaped hex bytes inside of strings to be highlighted.

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]

Reproduces how often: 100% of the time for me
