hello,
I need your help

I have files

file1.text

file2.text

I want when I run file3.sh

it shows in the screen

first line of file1.txt (space) first line of file2.txt
second line of file1.txt (space) second line of file2.txt
third line of file1.txt (space) third line of file2.txt
forth line of file1.txt (space) forth line of file2.txt



and so on

linux

please help

well, what you are looking for is bash scripting help, so you might do better with a thread title including that.

it does sound a bit odd though, what exactly are you trying to do ?

I wrote this script

but it's not working with while loop


#!/bin/sh
clear
echo "please enter the first file with full path"
read a
echo "please enter the seconde file with full path"
read b
y=1
while [ $y <= 7 ]
do
z='NR=='$y
echo "[RECORD]" > c
echo "ABC_NAME" \\c >> c
awk 'NR==1' $a >> c
echo "ABC_TEXT" \\c >> c
awk 'NR==1' $b >> c
echo " " >> c
y=2
done

Here is a simple perl script that will do what you want. Just change the paths to the files and run from the command line.


#!/usr/bin/perl

$count = 0;
$data = "path_to_file_1";

open (DATA, "<$data");
@data = <DATA>;
close DATA;

foreach $line (@data) {

chomp $line;
$count++;
$FILE1{$count} = "$line";

}


$count = 0;
$data = "path_to_file_2";

open (DATA, "<$data");
@data = <DATA>;
close DATA;

foreach $line (@data) {

chomp $line;
$count++;
$FILE2{$count} = "$line";

}

while ($countprint <= $count) {

$countprint++;

print "$FILE1{$countprint} $FILE2{$countprint}\n";

}

exit;

Aside from the solution pagebuzz gave you. You use round brackets around the clause of a while loop, not square brackets.

thanks guys

I found this script, it's doing what I want but how can I remove [RECORD] line in c file at the end !!???

#!/bin/csh
clear
echo "please enter the first file with full path"
read a
echo "please enter the seconde file with full path"
read b
e=`more $a | wc -l`
y=1
echo "[RECORD]" > c
while [ $y -le $e ]
do
z='NR=='$y
echo "ABC_NAME" \\c >> c
awk $z $a >> c
echo "ABC_TEXT" \\c >> c
awk $z $b >> c
echo " " >> c
echo "[RECORD]" >> c
y=`expr $y + 1`
done

lam -s ' ' file1.txt file2.txt

lam -s ' ' file1.txt file2.txt

Sorry, right answer is

lam file1.txt -s ' ' file2.txt

in which line I should add it ?

in which line I should add it ?

If you asking about 'lam' command - use it in place where file3.sh could be used.
'lam' just do work of 'file3.sh' - so use 'lam' instead of 'file3.sh' where you need.
