blaugh!

    so, i have a file in the following format:

    SOME_SINGLE_WORD STRING            "A quoted String"

    Where the two things are separated by any amount of whitespace, not
including \n.

    I would like to set up AWK so that I end up having:

    $1 = SOME_SINGLE_WORD_STRING
    $2 = "A Quoted STring"

    for each line/record [with or without the quotes].

    this actually appears to be non-trivial.

    any suggestions?  i've zipped through the two texts i have on it,
without much luck.

    thanks!

    marc.
