I've a loop to read a file line by line.
Now each line has 4 columns seperated by space.
How do I get 4 diff column values using awk to 4 seperate variables?
eg of a line: adas 343434 adas@adas.org Informationsystems

n=`wc -l < get_dwsdid.txt`
i=1

while [ "$i" -le "$n" ]
do
line=`cat get_dwsdid.txt | head -$i | tail -1`

echo $line
i=`expr $i + 1`

done

Jim and I already answered this question last week. You may not like the answers, but I doubt asking the question again will get you any different input.

hi all,
The second posting was a mistake..I tried both your suggestions and it just worked great!!

Thanks a bunch.
Sam.
