awk using printf+%f



Try this. By using printf with a width modified (e.g. %2d, the field is padded as required). Similarly, % 2.8f formats a floating point number here.



$ awk 'printf "%2d%7d%7d % 2.8f % 2.7f % 2.7fn",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6' file

Try it online!



awk using printf+tabs



The tab (t) approach also suggested makes the code a lot cleaner, but it doesn't achieve the alignment quite as you request.



$ awk 'print $1"t"$2"t"$3"t"$4"t"$5"t"$6' file
1 1 1 0.02484183 57.2400000 24.6000000

3 1 1 0.02484183 55.5700000 24.4900000
4 1 1 0.02484183 56.4400000 25.5100000
5 1 2 0.08638400 56.8900000 23.3300000
6 1 1 0.01376475 57.8900000 23.5200000
7 1 1 0.01376475 57.0600000 22.5200000
8 1 2 0.17612200 55.8800000 22.9700000
9 1 1 0.02042900 56.1600000 22.0400000
10 1 2 -0.34768900 55.9300000 24.0700000


Codeless version, column



Again, not quite the output you request, but simple to achieve using column.

Read the file with awk and output the values with printf.



awk ' printf ("%2dt%st%st%11st%st%sn", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6); ' file


Adapt the printf format string as you need.

awk using printf+%f



Try this. By using printf with a width modified (e.g. %2d, the field is padded as required). Similarly, % 2.8f formats a floating point number here.



$ awk 'printf "%2d%7d%7d % 2.8f % 2.7f % 2.7fn",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6' file

awk using printf+tabs



The tab (t) approach also suggested makes the code a lot cleaner, but it doesn't achieve the alignment quite as you request.

Read the file with awk and output the values with printf.



awk ' printf ("%2dt%st%st%11st%st%sn", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6); ' file


Adapt the printf format string as you need.
