Ok, Don't have idea about template thing. but regarding your question,

you can do something like:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
eval $(awk 'BEGIN { FS = ";"}
 
function _p (field,cnt)
{
 split(field,arr," ");
 for (n in arr)
 print "var_"cnt"_"n"="arr[n]
}
{ for(i=1;i<=11;i++){ print "var_"i"="$i }
  for(i=12;i<=17;i++){ if ($i != "") {_p($i,i)} else { print "var"i"="$i} }
}' filename) 

## shell part begins


echo $var_1
echo $var_2
echo $var_3
echo $var_4
echo $var_5
echo $var_6
echo $var_7
echo $var_8
echo $var_9
echo $var_10
echo $var_11
echo $var_12_2
echo $var_12_3
echo $var_12_1
echo $var_13_2
echo $var_13_3
echo $var_13_1
echo $var_14_2
echo $var_14_3
echo $var_14_1
echo $var15
echo $var_16_2
echo $var_16_3
echo $var_16_1
echo $var_17_2
echo $var_17_3
echo $var_17_1

Here, filename is the name of the file which contains that one line with 17 records separated by semicolon.

This will create the shell variables in the following manner:

Code:
for 1st field var_1
for 2nd field var_2
.....
so on


for multi field, the rule would be:

Code:
for 17 field, 1st value, var_17_1 
for 17 field, 2nd value, var_17_2
...
so on
