Hi RudiC,

Really many thanks and appreciate your advice.
I guess you're right.

It will resort to e- notation if the exponent ist less than -4.
In that case, I will try to see whether python or any other way to solve my doubts.
Really appreciate your assist.
Thanks again.

How about something like this:

Code:
$ printf "%.8f\n" $(< num.dat) | sed -e 's/0*$//' -e 's/\.$/.0/'
0.0001757
0.00751
0.00005634

Try with this less verbose example:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from decimal import Decimal
with open(sys.argv[1],'rb') as f:
   for number in f:print str(Decimal(number))
