I want to convert the value from 1.759114e-07 to 175.9114e-09. How can I script the conversion?
I tried this but I'm not getting what I want (which is 175.9114e-09):
$ echo 1.759114e-07 | awk '{printf("%.3g\n", $1*1e2 ) }'
1.76e-05

. This does not mean that the question is aboutawk
, or that an answer need to useawk
. In fact, it's not even tagged withawk
, nor does it mentionawk
in the text. If the user comes back to clarify their question, it would possibly make sense to re-open the issue. If you have a question about this that is not answered by the duplicate, then feel free to post a separate question. – Kusalananda Jul 11 '22 at 19:56
