Why are you trying to split on digits? That's not what you want.

In the shell:

Code:

while read f1 f2
do
  printf "<td>%s</td><td>%s</td>\n" "$f1" "$f2"
done < "$file"

awk -F'[0-9]+' '{ print "<td>"$1 "</td><td>"$2$3 }' file

Code:

awk '{
 $1 = $1 "</td>"
 $2 = "<td>" $2
 printf "<td>%s</td>\n", $0
}' "$file"

But shouldn't it be:

Code:

awk '{
 $1 = $1 "</td>"
 $2 = "<td>" $2
 printf "<tr><td>%s</td></tr>\n", $0
}' "$file"
