manipulate data with specific format

Hi everybody:

I have a problem with how I have to manipulate the data which have specific format like this:

249.      0.30727021E+05    0.30601627E+05    0.37470780E-01   -0.44745335E+02    0.82674536E+03
248.      0.30428182E+05    0.30302787E+05    0.40564921E-01   -0.45210293E+02    0.81456091E+03
247.      0.30129340E+05    0.30003945E+05    0.43904275E-01   -0.45641884E+02    0.80265021E+03
246.      0.29830500E+05    0.29705105E+05    0.47968332E-01   -0.45883633E+02    0.79155701E+03
245.      0.29531656E+05    0.29406262E+05    0.52036867E-01   -0.46166348E+02    0.78046381E+03

I would like to manipulate the data from second column, and for example if I do:

$2*1000
Actually I do not want the scientfic format
I have not output. So then somebody could give an idea?.
Thanks in advance

awk '$2=$2*1000' data.file

awk '{$2=sprintf("%0.f"), $2*1000}1' file

Regards

thanks a lot :rolleyes:

About the same file how could print it in inverse order?.
thanks a lot again .

With sort, read the man page.

Regards
