Not directly. If your data are strings, you can format them first,
then give them to write_csv, such as

write_csv,file,string(data1,format=...),string(data2,format= ...)

But write_csv encapsulates strings in quotes, which is probably
undesirable if your data were not strings.

So it is probably better to use plain old printf with the format you
want plus the commas to separate the fields.
