All are close to working but not eactly

Thank you for the replies, it almost works...
In the first reply,
0 needs to comeback as 0.0000000

in the second reply I received two strange parts in the file, one, the line
O 11.4730666365 0.0845493182000006 7.1215466626 with several extra decimal points
Two, a line O 12.69964795 0 12.7680007771 with no z coordinate.

In the third reply the decimal points end at 5 places.

I should add the text file is several thousand lines long so the demo values I gave are not all of it nor the lowest value
