I think you are approaching this the wrong way, and you should use $IFS
(bash record separator characters) for this purpose. Compare this:
for pair in `awk '/^[^[].+[^\n]$/ {print $1,$3}' passwd.fake`; do
echo "$pair"; done
versus
(IFS="$(echo)"; \
for pair in `awk '/^[^[].+[^\n]$/ {print $1,$3}' passwd.fake`; do
echo "$pair"; done)
In the second example, I force the record separator to be only the new
line character (the output from 'echo'. I can probably use \n, but I
wanted to play it safe). Do mind the wrapping of the second form in
parenthesis, otherwise you clobber your global IFS, which is something
you want to avoid.
