It is a while loop. In every cycle read a line into the two variables junk and other, where the first word lands in junk. The spaces around the first word are deleted. The source of the read is the file filename because the whole while-do-done block is redirected.

The loop continues with the next read. It ends if the read fails, normally when it is beyond the last line (end of input reached).
