[ask]awk in csh to extract content from file

Please suggest a method (in c shell or any other shell) to implement following:

-To read file1.txt (sample file1 given below)
-To save name field in a variable <name>
-To save parameter field in a variable <parameter>
for ex. let a line in file1.txt be :

Code:
bill height weight

the extracted results can be checked as:
echo "$bill" # prints - bill
echo "$height" #prints - height
echo "$weight" #prints - weight

sample file1.txt

Code:
ani year month
sam time day
bill height weight
.
.

The idea is to enter the data in file1 as and when requiring and the script automatically extracting even the new line.
I guess it can be possible using "awk", but need HELP!

NAME
ocamlify - create an OCaml file including other files. SYNOPSIS
ocamlify [options] option-file DESCRIPTION
This program allows to copy files inside OCaml code. It uses a first file that describes the other files that must be included and the type of OCaml variable it should create. It can also describe dependencies to other files, in order to generate .depends files for make. For example, we can create a file test.mlify with this content: VarString oasissys_ml "OASISSys.ml" VarStringList readme_template_mkd "MANUAL-template.mkd" We then translate it using the program: $> ocamlify --output test.ml test.mlify And we get a file test.ml containing two OCaml variables: oasissys_ml, which is a string, and readme_template_mkd which is a string list (one string per line). OPTIONS
--var-string-list varname file Include file as a list of string, each string representing a line (without trailing EOL character) --var-string varname file Include file as a string. --output file Output file, default to standard output --depends Output file dependencies --target file Define target of dependencies -help|--help Display list of options AUTHORS
