I have a reporting shell script that generates a tab-delimited table.
Using it within a shell code block, org parses this nicely into an org
table. But org seems to drop any trailing zeros from numeric cells. My
reporting script has already done the number formatting, so I want
trailing zeros preserved (both within org and in html export). What's
the best way?
Thanks,
Joe

If you want to return the numbers as strings *and* you want the results
to be captured as an Org-mode table, then you should use the ":results
org" output type so that you have complete control over the table.
For example,
[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #2: results-org.org --]
[-- Type: text/x-org, Size: 125 bytes --]
#+begin_src sh :results output org :exports results
cat <<EOF
| 1.0000 | 22.000 |
| 333.00 | 4444.0 |
EOF
#+end_src
