Use system() function:

awk '{printf("%s ",$1); system("d2h " $2)}' file

  • i am not able to call another script from system() command. – Jhon samuel Aug 2 '17 at 9:07
  • @Jhonsamuel in that case, there's either something wrong with your input data (no lines match the 2 conditions you set) or something wrong with your script. We can't help you if you don't show your data and the script. – terdon♦ Aug 2 '17 at 9:33
