This awk script seems to do what you want:
It was tested with the file varnw1 containing:
but you could put each value on a different line or all values on a single line. I added three additional zeros to the end of the value shown in red so you can see what happens when the number of digits after the decimal point in a value in this file is larger than the corresponding value in file1 and the numeric values of the two numbers are different.
When file1 contains:
the following will be written to file2:
with the only two lines changed by the script marked in red. You will note that when the value in both files had 5 digits after the decimal point, the difference is shown with 5 digits after the decimal point and when the value in the 1st file had 8 digits after the decimal point and the value in the 2nd file had 5 digits after the decimal point, the difference is shown with 8 digits after the decimal point. The number of digits printed is determined by the value returned by the dpm() (decimal point max) function
I hope the comments I added to the script will enable you to figure out what it is doing. If it doesn't ask questions.
Don, thanks for your reply, I haved tested it and the result it`s ok for the script but the values are wrong.
The original value #23 2.73300 it`s operated with 2.73230 equals +0.00070
same with the #24 with must be +0.00070000
ok, this one is definitely too hard for my shell-script-skills.
Hopefully, there is somebody who can help me with this:
