Is it possible to use format-values to format numbers in comments?

[OpenFoam-User]

Hey,

I have this sample file:

$ cat coefficient.dat
# Force and moment coefficients
# dragDir     : (1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# sideDir     : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 -1.000000e+00)
# liftDir     : (0.000000e+00 1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# rollAxis    : (1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# pitchAxis   : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 -1.000000e+00)
# yawAxis     : (0.000000e+00 1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# magUInf     : 7.000000e+00
# lRef        : 1.000000e+00
# Aref        : 1.000000e+00
# CofR        : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 1.200000e-01)
#
Time            Cd              Cl              CmPitch

0.2             1.283305e+00    1.134473e-01    3.093616e-01
0.3             1.505427e+00    9.139417e-02    3.535714e-01
0.4             1.346486e+00    5.035046e-02    3.600853e-01

If I use the format-values to format the values on the file as follows:

mlr --tsv --pass-comments clean-whitespace + format-values -f '%.9lf' coefficient.dat

I get this output:

# Force and moment coefficients
# dragDir     : (1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# sideDir     : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 -1.000000e+00)
# liftDir     : (0.000000e+00 1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# rollAxis    : (1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# pitchAxis   : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 -1.000000e+00)
# yawAxis     : (0.000000e+00 1.000000e+00 0.000000e+00)
# magUInf     : 7.000000e+00
# lRef        : 1.000000e+00
# Aref        : 1.000000e+00
# CofR        : (0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 1.200000e-01)

0.4     1.346486000     0.050350460     0.360085300

As one can see, the numbers on the table are nicely formatted but the numbers in the comments are excluded from formatting. Is it possible to achieve the formatting of numbers in comments using miller?

Best regards

@OpenFoam-User unfortunately, Miller treats comments as not to be touched and doesn't offer a facility for manipulating them.
