Sorry for this cross posting, but I can not find a good "bash" mailing =20=

list=85
I am certain FreeBSD gurus will provide me with a fast and reliable =20
answer to this little question.


Here is the deal:
-----------------


I have a file containing a list of items like that:

line1item1 line1item2 line1item3
line2item1 line2item2 line2item3
=85400 times

I need to insert this into another text file using printf() items =20
should be converted into variable looping=85 like that:

printf "Bla bla bla $1 bla bla $2 bla bla $3 bla bla $2"


The main thing is that I can not get $1 $2 $3 to correspond to =20
line1item1 line1item2 line1item3


Any good idea or example will be welcome.
