nesting loop help

[uuperl]

Hi,

I need print out like this:

i=one two three four five
p=a b c d e

output should be:
one a
two b
three c
four d
five e

here is what I have but is not doing the trick:
for i in one two three four five
do
for p in a b c d e
do
echo $i $p
done
done

Thanks!

How is it not doing the trick?

It's producing "one a one b one c one d one e two a two b ..", is that right?

What you would need is:[tt]
for i in 'one a' 'two b' ...[/tt]
using one loop instead of two.

i=(one two three)
p=(a b c)
for n in $(seq 0 2) ; do echo  ${i[n]} ${p[n]} ; done

Hi,

You can use standard shell arguments as the inner loop

# set argument list the second collection
set a b c d e
for i in one two three four five
do
        echo $i $1
        shift #shift argument list to left
done
