I think it works with the following code, but in very an inefficient way.
Code:
/*add the file name to the first row*/
for i in file*; do
printf "%20s" ${i} >> $i.txt;
done

printf "\n" >> ../$i.txt;

/*print the numbers of the second row from each file $i*/
for ((j=1;j<=11;j++)); do
for i in file*; do
Num=$(awk "NR==${j}" ${i} | awk -F= '{print $2}');
printf "%20.7f" "${Num}" >> $i.txt;
done;

printf "\n" >> $i.txt;

done;
