How to escape values in radclient?

[rany]

I tried with this file named "test.txt":

Framed-Protocol = PPP
Message-Authenticator = 0x00
NAS-IP-Address = redacted
NAS-Port = 0
Service-Type = Framed-User
User-Name = "\x72\x61\x6e\x79"
#User-Name = "rany"
User-Password = "mypassword"

Hex escaped variant does not work, I ran it like so: `radclient -f 
test.txt 127.0.0.1 auth testing123`
