Good idea to use awk since it already parses on whitespace.
Here's a safer approach: use awk to create a shell script containing
lines of the form:
useradd 'login' && echo 'password' | passwd --stdin
useradd 'login2' && echo 'password2' | passwd --stdin
something like this:
awk '{printf "useradd \"%s\" && echo \"%s\" | passwd --stdin
\"%s\"\n", $1, $2, $1}' inputfile.txt > output_script.sh
you can then make sure that output_script.sh is correct before running it.

Sir this is the script edited:
-----------
#!/bin/bash
exec < users.txt
while read LINE; do
IFS=" "; set -- $(echo $LINE)
MyUserName=$1
MyPassword=$2
MyFullName=$3
useradd "${MyUserName}" -c "${MyFullName}"
echo "${MyPassword}" | passwd "${MyUserName}" --stdin
done
------------
And this is the result:
--------------
useradd: invalid user name '2710050 waombao WILBERT_A_OMBAO'
passwd: Unknown user name '2710050 waombao WILBERT_A_OMBAO'.
useradd: invalid user name '2710034 esrosel ERIC_S_ROSEL'
passwd: Unknown user name '2710034 esrosel ERIC_S_ROSEL'.
useradd: invalid user name '2710040 pbbelleza PATRICK_B_BELLEZA'
passwd: The user name supplied is too long.
----------------
This are in users.txt:
---------------
password username fullname
-------------- -------------- -------------
2710050 waombao WILBERT_A_OMBAO
2710034 esrosel ERIC_S_ROSEL
2710040 pbbelleza PATRICK_B_BELLEZA
----------------
I'm not sure if I did the right step.
But from the result I think the script did not brake the line "<space> "
and assign it to a separate variable but instead it parse the whole line as
1 variable.
Sory for asking this: Is there still hope for the script? :)
Thanks and more power
