Hi.

I have used utility t2t for years to solve such problems. Here's a demonstration:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate utility to produce HTML tables, t2t.
# http://www.scholnick.net/t2t

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C t2t

FILE=${1-data1}
SCR=f1

pl " Input data file $FILE:"
cat -A $FILE

# Change multiple spaces to TABs:
sed 's/   */\t/g' $FILE > $SCR
pl " Modified input file $SCR:"
cat -A $SCR

pl " Results, output file is ${SCR}.html:"
# Below is for single spaces as delimiters.
# t2t --delim " " --squeeze --header --overwrite $FILE
t2t --header --overwrite $SCR

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s1

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 3.16.0-4-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 8.3 (jessie) 
bash GNU bash 4.3.30
t2t 7.3.1

-----
 Input data file data1:
Application Name      Application Status$
Application 1              Open$
Application 2              Open$
Application 3              Closed$
Application 4              Open$

-----
 Modified input file f1:
Application Name^IApplication Status$
Application 1^IOpen$
Application 2^IOpen$
Application 3^IClosed$
Application 4^IOpen$

-----
 Results, output file is f1.html, see attachment

The link for t2t is in the comments of the script.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
