pprint and right aligned column values output

[nikbucher]

Hi

When I've a file 'data.csv' with this content:

a,b long name,c
1,43.71,2
119,92,778

Then I could do
mlr --c2p --barred cat data.csv
and I get this output

+-----+-------------+-----+
| a   | b long name | c   |
+-----+-------------+-----+
| 1   | 43.71       | 2   |
| 119 | 92          | 778 |
+-----+-------------+-----+

If I'd like to have the number values right aligned I could do something like this
mlr --c2p --barred cat then format-values -i %3d -f %3.0f data.csv
then I get

+-----+-------------+-----+
| a   | b long name | c   |
+-----+-------------+-----+
|   1 |  44         |   2 |
| 119 |  92         | 778 |
+-----+-------------+-----+

Is there a possibility to get an output like this?

+-----+-------------+-----+
| a   | b long name | c   |
+-----+-------------+-----+
|   1 |          44 |   2 |
| 119 |          92 | 778 |
+-----+-------------+-----+

Or is there maybe a simpler solution?

Thank you in advance - Niklaus

And
mlr --c2p --barred --ofmt %3.0f cat then format-values data.csv
and also
mlr --c2p --barred --ofmt %3d cat then format-values data.csv

gives me this output:

+-----+-------------+-----+
| a   | b long name | c   |
+-----+-------------+-----+
| 1   |  44         | 2   |
| 119 | 92          | 778 |
+-----+-------------+-----+

is that correct?

I just found the --right flag, but that works on header and values and there is - as far as I see - no option to align right numbers only.
