I have a file with arrangement shown below

A  0.5  0.2  0.4  0.8  0.3                    
B  0.2  0.8  0.7  0.0  0.6                       
C  0.8  0.2  0.1  0.4  0.7   

And so on with around 8000 columns.

Now i don't know how to subtract these values in the column from 1 i.e.
Results

A  0.5  0.8  0.6  0.2  0.7            
B  0.8  0.2  0.3  1.0  0.4           
C  0.2  0.8  0.9  0.6  0.3       

Please help me out solving this issue?

Thank you for your quick suggestion.

So, if the input is like

A 0.4

Then what i want is

A 0.6

And that is 1-0.4 =0.6 .

Hope i cleared the confusion.

Let's suppose your values are stored in a file called file.txt. A simple awk command to achieve your objective would be:

awk '{for(i=2;i<=NF;i++){$i = 1 - $i}} {print $0}' file.txt > output.txt

It basically loops all the columns (NF field) of each row starting from the second column, it substitutes their values with 1 - value and then prints the entire line.
