Conversion of scientific notation

Hello All,

Hope all is well,

Suppose I have a program that extracted data into a file called: progcros.in.

I attached the file but I renamed it progcros.txt. I think that my mess up the column alignment.

Anyways,

in several columns there are numbers listed, however the numbers appear like this -.98584843983494D+04 is there a program make that changes all these numbers into non sci notation. Thank you all.

Lenny
