How to print a % within a printf() function using awk
Here is the code I'm using
{
printf("%11d %4.2f\% %4.2f\%\n", $1,$2,$3);
}
I want the output to look something like
1235415234 12.24% 52.46%
Instead it looks something like
319203842 42.27\%4.2f\%
How do I just print a "%" without awk or printf thinking I'm trying to do something. Blackslash escapes don't seem to work.
