Quick question about listing

[hokky]

Hi guys,

I've got file content like this
5.6G f320652
2.3G m023569

And I want to put the user name in the third field, which i need to finger it first.

So if I do,

for file in `cat filename`
do
echo $file
done

the result would be
5.6G
f320652
2.3G
m023569

How if I want to keep
5.6G ... in one line

And any idea the best way and shortest way of doing it ?

Thx guys,
