Column manipulation
Hi,

I's like to ask for help with the following question:

this is an example file:

HTML Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I need to have it re-arranged in the following manner: first 2 columns, zero, zero, last two columns, columns 3 to 8

the result should look like this:

HTML Code:
1 2 0 0 9 10 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 0 0 9 10 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 0 0 9 10 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 0 0 9 10 3 4 5 6 7 8
I've tried to do it with awk:

HTML Code:
awk '{print $1, $2, "0", "0", $9, $10; for(i=3;i<=8;i++) printf "%s ",$i ; print ""}' input-file > output-file
but the result looks like this:

Code:
1 2 0 0 9 10
3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 0 0 9 10
3 4 5 6 7 8
etc.

Any help to achieve the file I need would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!
