You need to read the file properly and replace '\' characters with '\\'. Assume that there is file called test_file in your project with this content:

\1f\1e\1d\02002868BF03030000000000000000S023\1f\1e\1d\03\0d

Here is the code to read the file and extract values:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, URISyntaxException {        
    Test t = new Test();
    t.test();
}

public void test() throws IOException {        
    BufferedReader br =
        new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(
                getClass().getResourceAsStream("/test_file.txt"), "UTF-8"));
    String inputText;

    while ((inputText = br.readLine()) != null) {
        inputText = inputText.replace("\\", "\\\\");

        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\\\[a-fA-F0-9]{2}");
        Matcher match = pattern.matcher(inputText);

        while (match.find()) {
            System.out.println(match.group());
        }
    }
}
