You can do that with while:

Code:
while read i j; do
  stuff with i
  stuff with j
done <<HERE
firsti firstj
secondi secondj can have several fields actually
thirdi thirdj -- it splits on whitespace
fourthi fourthj; but only as many as necessary
fifthi fifthj ... and the remainder is unsplit
HERE

It's not exactly what you asked for, but hopefully close enough.

wml::all

wml::all(3)							     EN Tools							       wml::all(3)

NAME

       wml::all - WML Include Files Of All Categories

SYNOPSIS

	#use wml::all

DESCRIPTION

       This includes all existing standard WML include files of all categories.  Use it only when you are a really lazy webmaster which just wants
       all features WML can provide ;-) It is always better to include one of the "wml::xxx::all" include files.

       The following categories currently exists:

       Standard (std)
	   Here you can find all standard tagsets which everybody usually uses all the time.

       Webdesign (des)
	   These are tagsets which help webdesigners of the 3rd generation fighting against the puristic plain HTML. Use with care.

       Formatting (fmt)
	   Here you can find formatting environments, i.e. usually container tags which do special formatting.

       Import (imp)
	   Here you can find import tags, i.e. usually tags which import external data and converts them to HTML.

       Support (sup)
	   Some support stuff which is used in other include files.

       System (sys)
	   All system related stuff.

       User (usr)
	   The user specific include files. Should be extended by the webmaster for his users.
