The problem is that i am really confused about how do I go about reading the file.

The file is in the following format:

Code:
TID1 Name1 ATime=xx AResult=yyy AExpected=yyy BTime=xx BResult=yyy BExpected=yyy CTime=xx CResult=yyy CExpected=yyy ....

The file can continue this way as long as it wants. The A type (for that matter any type) might be repeated again too.
But there would always be 3 fields for a given type, Time, Result and ExpectedResult.

I need to consolidate all of these values for all the different types (A, B, etc.) and create a tabular report for them.

What does "consolidate" mean? What do you want to do with the line?

What type of output do you want?


Is this something like it:

Code:
printf "<table>\n"
while read a b line
do
  eval "$line" ## set all the variables
  printf "<tr><td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s<td>%s\n" \
    "$a" "$b" "$ATime" "$AResult" "$AExpected" "$BTime" "$BResult" "$BExpected" \
    "$CTime" "$CResult" "$CExpected" 
done < "$FILE"
printf "</table>\n"

Oh, yes, forgot to mention.... I'm using a shell based on zsh.

Use POSIX shell syntax for scripting; use extensions only when it is more efficient.

HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		 HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String(3pm)

NAME

       HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String - text in a particular language

SYNOPSIS

	my $string = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String
		       ->new('Bonjour', 'fr');
	print "$string
";

DESCRIPTION

   Constructor
       "$str = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String->new($text, [$lang])"
	   Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object.

   Public Methods
       "$str->lang"
	   Return the language code.

       "$str->to_string"
	   Return a plain (scalar) string.

   Functions
       "$str = ms($text, [$element])"
	   Construct a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object from a scalar, plus XML::LibXML::Element. If $element is undef, then
	   returns the plain (scalar) string itself.

	   This function is exported by default.

	   (Note: the name 'ms' originally stood for 'Magic String'.)

       "isms($str)"
	   Returns true iff $str is blessed as a HTML::Microformats::Datatype::String object.

	   This function is exported by default.

       "$c = concat($a, $b, [$reverse])"
	   Concatenates two strings.

	   If the language of string $b is null or the same as $a, then the resultant string has the same language as $a. Otherwise the result has
	   no language.

	   If $reverse is true, then the strings are concatenated with $b preceding $a.

	   This function is not exported by default.

	   Can also be used as a method:

	    $c = $a->concat($b);

       "compare($a, $b)"
	   Compares two strings alphabetically. Language is ignored.

	   Return values are as per 'cmp' (see perlfunc).

	   This function is not exported by default.

	   Can also be used as a method:

	    $a->compare($b);
