I don't see any issues with your second code

This is what i got :

/home/test >echo "gives Me Output Like This" | awk '{print $1 " " $2 " " $3}'
gives Me Output

it's got nothing to do with 'awk', but rather with the 'for' loop itself. The loop reads one string at the time and echo-s it out.

you can try something like this instead:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

awk '/hello there/ {print $1,$2,$3}' $FILE | while IFS= read SOMELINE
do
   echo $SOMELINE
done

/home/test >echo "gives Me Output Like This" | awk '{print $1 " " $2 " " $3}'

and it works fine. thanks Smilie
