SH: two variables in for loop
Hi, say I have a simple sh script like this:


Code:
for i in a b c d
        do
                for j in 1 2 3 4
                        do
                                echo "$i $j"
                        done
        done

and the output is


Code:
 a 1
 a 2
 a 3
 a 4
 b 1
 b 2
 b 3
 b 4
 c 1
 c 2
 c 3
 c 4
 d 1
 d 2
 d 3
 d 4

how do i make its output like this?


Code:
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4

TIA
