How to change the format of an excel from exponential to text through UNIX command


We have a pipe delimited file in which one particular A column is a combination of number+text and while converting into
excel using tr command it is generating a exponential data for the A column.

Kindly help to convert a file without generating the exponential value.

Input:
Code:
122911302435E289

Output:
Code:
1.22911302435E+300

UNIX script used for this convertion is shown below:

Code:
tr '|'  ',' < Input.csv > Final.csv

CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
