What do you mean by "text"?
I have the following aliases:
alias calc 'gawk "BEGIN{ print \!* }"'
alias hcalc 'gawk -v CONVFMT="%x\n" "BEGIN{printf CONVFMT, \!* }"'
FWIW, in bash:
function calc() { gawk "BEGIN{ print $* }"; }
function hcalc() { gawk -v CONVFMT="%x\n" "BEGIN{printf CONVFMT, $* }"; }
(Assuming that I retyped it correctly.)
