I have a tab delimited input file. Some numeric field values have a minus sign in the midst of the value such as 000-45.123. I need the - to be on left side like this instead: -00045.123



So if tab delimited input file contains: (spaces are tabs)



ABC 000-45.123 0-765.43 DEF 00-54 XYZ


then I want result to be



ABC -00045.123 -0765.43 DEF -0054 XYZ


All the number values with an embedded “-“ begin with 1 or more zeros and no other characters.
