How can I convert hexadecimal values to Binary from the second field to the end
Input:
WS-2 23 345 235
DT-3 45 4A3 000
pp-2 76 300 E4
Output:
WS-2 100011 1101000101 1000110101
DT-3 1000101 10010100011 000
pp-2 1110110 1100000000 11100100

I have gone through but could not get help
This works in the bash shell. It is a one-off hack, IMO. perl or some other interpreted language would be more efficient.
#!/bin/bash
#obase.shl - convert to binary from hex
while read rec
do
a=( $rec)
(echo ${a[0]}
echo "ibase=16; obase=2; ${a[1]}" | bc -l
echo "ibase=16; obase=2; ${a[2]}" | bc -l) | tr -s '\n' ' '
echo "ibase=16; obase=2; ${a[3]}" | bc -l
done < infile
$ ./obase.shl
WS-2 100011 1101000101 1000110101
DT-3 1000101 10010100011 0
pp-2 1110110 1100000000 11100100
$
No time left --- I cannot fiddle with the remaining problem : 000 -> output as 000. fix that one yourself.

0 instead of 000 output is ok
The simplest one-liner I could craft:
( echo ibase=16\; obase=2; awk '$1 = "\""$1"\n\""' OFS=\; file ) | bc | paste - - - -

Assuming 4 bits per nibble, I am missing something here.
Binary 23 is 00100011 and 345 is 0000001101000101 and 235 is 0000001000110101 ; where are the leading zeros? The OP requires a bit representation not a true hex to binary conversion.
The three zeros is in fact "0000000000000000" as a true hex to binary conversion.
If my assumption is wrong then ignore me...
It's not working on solaris but work on cygwin. how can I make it work on Solaris 10
On Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk , /usr/xpg6/bin/awk , or nawk , and try
Not working, This is the output:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk: line 17 (NR=1): variable "" cannot be used as a function
Can you show what you have tried ? what is there in line 17 ?

while ((length(data) % 1) != 0)

return data

1993 and later versions of the Korn shell give you some other options. On Solaris 10, /bin/ksh is based on ksh88, but I believe /usr/dt/bin/dtksh should work (although i don't currently have access to a system to verify it).
If the hexadecimal values you're trying to convert can be represented in a long in the programming model used by the shell on your system, the script:
#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
while read -A a
do printf '%s' "${a[0]}"
for ((i = 1; i < ${#a[@]}; i++))
do
typeset -i2 b=0x${a}
printf " %s" ${b:2}
done
echo
done < Input
should do what you want. If you have arbitrarily long strings of hexadecimal digits, to convert to binary, I think the following script does what you want:
#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
typeset -A b b1
b1['0']='0'; b['0']='0000'
b1['1']='1'; b['1']='0001'
b1['2']='10'; b['2']='0010'
b1['3']='11'; b['3']='0011'
b1['4']='100'; b['4']='0100'
b1['5']='101'; b['5']='0101'
b1['6']='110'; b['6']='0110'
b1['7']='111'; b['7']='0111'
b1['8']='1000'; b['8']='1000'
b1['9']='1001'; b['9']='1001'
b1['A']='1010'; b['A']='1010'
b1['B']='1011'; b['B']='1011'
b1['C']='1100'; b['C']='1100'
b1['D']='1101'; b['D']='1101'
b1['E']='1110'; b['E']='1110'
b1['F']='1111'; b['F']='1111'
b1['a']='1010'; b['a']='1010'
b1['b']='1011'; b['b']='1011'
b1['c']='1100'; b['c']='1100'
b1['d']='1101'; b['d']='1101'
b1['e']='1110'; b['e']='1110'
b1['f']='1111'; b['f']='1111'
while read -A a
do printf '%s' "${a[0]}"
for ((i = 1; i < ${#a[@]}; i++))
do printf ' %s' "${b1[${a[$i]:0:1}]}"
for ((j = 1; j < ${#a[$i]}; j++))
do printf '%s' "${b[${a[$i]:$j:1}]}"
done

I used the file Input containing:
