In this case you should read the file line by line and then do what i showed you in a loop, like this:
Instead of the "echo" insert whatever you want to do with the value. Using "awk" or "sed" (or "perl" or whatever) for the same purpose will be slower because these programs have to be invoked while parameter expansion is done within the shell itself.
If your goal is not solely to produce a modified file (in this case "sed" is the best solution) but to do something inside the shell with the values thus generated you should do it like i told you.
