convert txt to 3 column html

I have a server sending me a plain text email every day, reporting the below parameters. Its reading them from a text file, and sending them to my email.

How can convert this to a three column html table and send that?

Code:

Sync Total: 1 directory, 4 files, 0 symlinks

Host Name: host name here

---------------------------------

Group Name: group name here

---------------------------------

What would be the column criterias(name)?

Did you tried any scripts yourself? If so post it.

#a.html is output_html_file
#file.txt is the text file produced by server
oldIFS=$IFS
IFS=:
terminal=`tty`
exec<file.txt
echo "<html><head><title>forecast</title></head><body><table border=5>" >>a.html
while read line
do
set $line
echo "<tr><td>"$1"</td><td>"$2"</td></tr>" >>a.html
done
echo "</table></body></html>" >>a.html
IFS=$oldIFS
exec<$terminal

Please use [code][/code] tags to display code or data.

So what is your issue?

From that file can you show an example of first row (arrangement).
