Why would you want to use awk?

There's a number of ways. Such as:

Code:
awk '{print "converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c \"" $2 "\" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  \"" $5 "\" -e ORA -m \""$4,$8 "\""}' file | sh

(without | sh for testing...)
Code:
$ cat file
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 J1
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 J2

$ awk '{print "converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c \"" $2 "\" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  \"" $5 "\" -e ORA -m \""$4,$8 "\""}' file
converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c "A2" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  "A5" -e ORA -m "A4 A8"
converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c "B2" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  "B5" -e ORA -m "B4 B8"

But stick with the while-loop. It's cleaner, and just as efficient.
