print a column with the desire format output
I have a list of the following data in a file:
-0.3476890000000000
0.0743938333333333
-1.0990240000000000
0.0743938333333333
-0.2169100000000000
0.0879397500000000
and I am trying to align all data so to have:
-0.347689000000000
0.0743938333333333
-1.099024000000000
0.0743938333333333
-0.216910000000000
0.0879397500000000
unfortunately I couldn't make it with awk '{printf "%18sn", $1}'. The ideal is to have an output like this:
-0.3476890000000000
0.0743938333333333
-1.0990240000000000

Maybe too small a field width. Try
awk '{printf "%19sn", $1}' file
-0.3476890000000000

Both GNU Awk (gawk) and mawk appear to support the C printf ' ' modifier that adds a space in front of positive numbers to align them with negative ones
' ' (a space) A blank should be left before a positive number (or
empty string) produced by a signed conversion.
So for example:
$ mawk '{printf "% 22.16fn", $1}' file
-0.3476890000000000
0.0743938333333333
-1.0990240000000000
0.0743938333333333
-0.2169100000000000
0.0879397500000000
Alternatively, with numfmt
$ numfmt --format='% 22.16f' < file
-0.3476890000000000
0.0743938333333333
