Converting Text File into XML using Unix Shell Scripts

Hi everyone,

If someone out there could help me out with this problem. I would really appreciate it.

I am trying to convert a file into xml format using Unix shell scripts.

The file has fields with each field having a certain number of bytes, but the fields are not delimited by anything (e.g. whitespace). I need to get those fields into some sort of data structure so that I can use them to generate the XML using a simple for loop. The following is a an example of what I am looking at:

Jack Johnson 90980288Harv 9090998
Joe Joie 8989 Sed 99488

I can't use whitespace as a delimiter.

Thanks you guys very much,
I really appreciate it.
