Full Discussion: pulling a column from a file in ksh

Well, here's where it gets tricky:

It turns out that I do need to use the second column. The file would now look like this:

N.Korea NUCLEAR garbage
S.Korea NON-NUCLEAR garbage
USA NUCLEAR garbage
Iraq UNKNOWN garbage
Canada HORSEBACK garbage


(By the way, the second column is a joke, for those who don't get my sense of humor)

But what I need to do is pull out the second column and place it in a separate variable, but in a way that I can still associate it with the first column.
