Might be this one will be useful.

Code:

awk  '{cou++;for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
{ if(i==1) { print "< Filed"cou" name=\"" $1 "\">" } 
  else {print "<Otherfield name=\"" $i "\"><\Otherfield>" } 
} {print "<\Filed"cou">" }
} '  file_name.txt

Ok. Copy the above mentioned awk script and put it in any file , for example : scrpt.sh and then run the script as :

Code:

. script.sh

If you really want to generate a XML your syntax is wrong. Closing elements
should start with "</" - not "<\" i.e.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

n=1;

echo "<data>" > outfile
while read f o1 o2 o3
do
   echo "<Field$n name="\"$f\"">" >> outfile
   echo "<Otherfield name="\"$o1\""></Otherfield>" >> outfile
   echo "<Otherfield name="\"$o2\""></Otherfield>" >> outfile
   echo "<Otherfield name="\"$o3\""></Otherfield>" >> outfile
   echo "</Field$n>" >> outfile
   n=$((n+1))
done < infile
echo "</data>" >> outfile

a bash script

Code:

{	J=1
	echo '<data>'
	while read LINE
	do
		VAR=( $LINE )
		echo '<Field'$J' name="'${VAR[0]}'"><\Field'$J'>'
		for I in 1 2 3
		do	echo '<OtherField name="'${VAR[$I]}'"><\Otherfield>'
		done
		echo '<\Field>'
	done < InputFile1
	echo '<\data>'
} > OutputFile.xml
