Extracting values after the maximum value in a txt file
Hello,
I'm new to scripting and I need to write a bash script. Here is example of file on which I'm working:


0.3092381 0.3262799 0.3425480 0.3578379 0.3719490
0.3846908 0.3958855 0.4053738 0.4130160 0.4186991
0.4223357 0.4238688 0.4232734 0.4205554 0.4157534
0.4089370 0.4002056 0.3896858 0.3775293 0.3639085


I try to extract maximum value of this txt file. The maximum value is "0.4238688" here.
Then i just want to get values after this maximum value and add zeros for empty spaces. Like this;

0.4238688 0.4232734 0.4205554 0.4157534 0.4089370
0.4002056 0.3896858 0.3775293 0.3639085 0.0000000
0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000



Any suggestions?
Thank you
