Hi guy,
Don't know if u r using bash for this, if so, u could try this:
Code:
$ ./k.sh file3
Line   1: The world is a wonderful place to stay
arr[0]=The
arr[1]=world
arr[2]=is
arr[3]=a
arr[4]=wonderful
arr[5]=place
arr[6]=to
arr[7]=stay
Line   2: Moon is a satellite of earth
arr[0]=Moon
arr[1]=is
arr[2]=a
arr[3]=satellite
arr[4]=of
arr[5]=earth
Line   3: Happiness an fun is all that matters in the world
arr[0]=Happiness
arr[1]=an
arr[2]=fun
arr[3]=is
arr[4]=all
arr[5]=that
arr[6]=matters
arr[7]=in
arr[8]=the
arr[9]=world
$ cat k.sh 
#!/bin/sh
infile=$1
i=1
while read -r line
do
    printf "Line %3d: %s\n" $i "$line"
    arr=($line)
    for j in `seq 1 ${#arr[@]}`
    do
        let j=j-1
        printf "arr[%d]=%s\n" $j "${arr[$j]}"
    done
    let i=i+1
done<$infile

and if not so, you may need to change the code segment that I was using to set the array 'arr''s value.

CONNECTAGRAM(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   CONNECTAGRAM(1)

NAME

       connectagram - word unscrambling game

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page explains the Debian package connectagram .  Connectagram is a word unscrambling game. The board consists of several scram-
       bled words that are joined together. You can choose the length of the words, the amount of words,  and  the  pattern  that  the	words  are
       arranged  in. The game provides a hint option for times when you are stuck, and features an online word lookup that fetches the definitions
       of each word from www.dict.org.	Your current progress is automaticalla saved.

       Note that this game involves a large and varied word list, some of which may be considered inappropriate for children.  You  can  edit  the
       file containing the word list if you wish to remove words from your game. The location of this file varies by platform.

CONFIGURATION

       Connectionagram uses the configuration file ~/.config/GottCode/Connectagram.conf .

       It supports the following options. Each line must be in the format 'option = value'.

       Count	  the number of words

       Length	   the length of each word

FILES

       ~/.config/GottCode/Connectagram.conf
	      Configuration file with default options.
