I assume that was supposed to be "$(({}-0x043000000))". The problem
with that is that bash processes the arithmetic expansion before
invoking xargs. Try this:
echo 0x04abcdef | xargs -i bash -c 'printf "%x\n" "$(({}-0x043000000))"'
news:comp.unix.shell is a good place to find help with writing
scripts.
