Subtracting values from a matrix 1

[hill007]

I am trying to subtract a value of 25 from the cells of a matrix.
Example:

2 3 6 9 12
-3 4 7 -2 -6
3 10 4 8 14

After subtracting 25 from the cells of the above matrix, it should be:

-23 -22 -19 -16 -13
-28 -21 -18 -27 -31
-22 -15 -21 -17 -11

How would I do this in awk95. Any help is always appreciated.

matrix.awk

{for(i=1;i<=NF;++i)$i-=25;print}

awk95 -f matrix.awk Matrix > newMatrix

Hope This Helps, PH.
