Column data reading

Experts I am new to UNIX shell programming ( or scripting). My problem is that
I have an ASCII file in which column wise data is present, the columns are seperated by spaces. I want to read each columns data and store it in arrays, next I will be using the arrays to perform some numerical operations.
Could anybody help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
