In what manner does it "not work"?

You don't need to initialize the variables to anything, especially since that may end up making them longer than you want.

%10f won't do what you want either. Treat them all as strings.

I'd make the ~ part of the format string so you don't need to put int 9 identical options to separate 10 fields.

You forgot to put a \n on the end.

Code:
printf "%22s~%10s~%10s~%10s~\n" a 3.14159 a b c
