What is the delimiter? If it is space delimited and you have spaces in the first field, then you won't be able to properly parse the file. You should use either : or ~ to delimit the fields. If you change the delimiter you can probably use cut such as
for line in `cat data.dat`
do
echo "column 1: "+`echo ${line} | cut -d":" | -f1`
echo "column 2: "+`echo ${line} | cut -d":" | -f2`
echo "column 3: "+`echo ${line} | cut -d":" | -f3`
done
I have not yet run the above code to check for bugs.
You will need to take the logic and change it for what you need.
