Programming :: Script To Create Simple HTML From Text File?

I am working on a script to convert a comma seperated text file into html code line by line. The text file is like so:

Code:

link url, image url, description and I want it to output this:

Code:

<td><a href=�link url�><img src="image url" alt=�description" /></a></td>

Here is what I have so far:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
var1='<td><a href=
var2='><img src="'
var3='" alt=�thumbnail image" /></a></td>'

[code].....

It puts the entire line into the html so its no good. I'll probably need to use awk (I think).
