Hi itkamaraj,

I did something similar earlier and the issue with that is later when I expand the amount of records I need to see, it would take 000000023640.82 and turn it into 23640.8. I was thinking of a mandatory two decimal places with printf but that would leave 0 with the undesirable 0.00.

awk -v OFS=, 'NR>4{exit}{gsub("-"," -");print $1,$2,$3+0,$4+0}' OFMT='%.2f' input

One more thing, now lets say I have 50 columns. Lets assume its already been formatted, I just need to add commas as delimiters, how do I go about doing that without listing each column.

This is practical for 4 but not 50:

Code:
awk 'BEGIN {OFS=","} {print $1, $2, $3, $4} input
