For instance: Code: #!/bin/bash for number in $( seq 1 255 ) do hex_representation=$( printf "%X" ${number} ) echo "${number}: ${hex_representation}" done If you're script is given the value of the number to increment in hex notation, you can also use printf to convert it to decimal for you: Code: number=$( printf "%d" 0x${hex_representation}" ) I'm not claiming that any of this is efficient by any means. Nor am I saying it will solve all your problems  But it should give you a start.
