Read from file > process > output to file

Hi all,

OK, I am totally new to shell scripting as I just started today. All I want from shell scripting is something very basic, and I've been searching for tutorials on "processing files" and I could not find a suitable one for my level.

I want to read two columns from a data file, one raw at a time, use these values as input to some program, then parse the output of that program (output is text) and append important info to another file

I am going insane about this, please help me find a useful tutorial!!!

Thanks
