Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Convert a numeric to 2 decimal point value Post 303025666 by RudiC on Thursday 8th of November 2018 04:00:45 PM

Your approach needs two small corrections to print the desired output:
Code:
awk -F"|" '{printf "%s|%s|%s|%.2f|%s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5}' file

A wee bit shorter would be
Code:
$ awk -F\| '$4+=1e-4' CONVFMT="%.2f" OFS="|" file
A|Mau|Code|12.00|Detail
B|Mau|Code|20.00|Header

(will fail on $4 == 0.0001, though)

This manual page documents briefly the pclock command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. pclock is a program that places a small analog clock program on the desktop of X. It was designed to run under the WindowMaker window man- ager. It uses any 64x64 pixmap as a background. OPTIONS
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-') and short optoins starting with one dash. A summary of options is included below. -B PIXMAP, --background=PIXMAP Use the given pixmap as the clock background (size must be 64x64). -H COLOR, --hands-color=COLOR Draw the hands (hour, minute and second) in the specified color. -S COLOR, --second-hand-color Draw the second hand in the specified color -h, --help Show summary of options. --hour-hand-length=INT Draw the hour hand with the specified length of INT. --minute-hand-length=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-length=INT Draw the second hand with the specified length of INT. --second-hand-width=INT Draw the minute hand with the specified width of INT. -s, --second-hand Don't display the second hand. -v, --version Show version of program. -w, --withdrawn Don't start up in a withdrawn (iconic) state.
