a = "\x07\x00\x41\x42\x43\xff"
puts "Returns: #{a.inspect}"
puts "Returns: #{a.unpack("H*").first}"

Just as a String:

a.length
a[1,3] # slice from pos 1 for 3 bytes
.. etc

But if you know precisely the format you're expecting, then
String#unpack will allow you to break it up into integers and
substrings.
