I am new to bash. I need some help with loops.
I want a loop to read the variables from two different files and perform an action. For example: I want to supply two files to the 'for' loop -
file1 contains the first names (each word in new line)
Peter
Mary
file2 contains second names (each word in a new line)
Parker
Jane
and i want to achieve something like this -
for i in $(cat file1), j in $(cat file2)
do
echo $i $j
done
Expected output:
Peter Parker
Mary Jane
If someone could tell me how to achieve the above in bash that will be great.
TIA
