Help Me With the Loop.

I am inputing three variables in the script where i am running loop for two times.so right now my output is coming like
Code:
A
B
C

A1
B1
C1

But i want output like
Code:
A
A1

B
B1

C
C1

Please suggest what i will do now ? Do i have to save the output in three different files or is there any way where we can accumulate same type of output together? Please suggest!!

Looks to me like you have something like this algorithm:
Code:
FOR loop in 1 2
   process A
   process B
   process C
END

What you need is something more like this one:
Code:
FOR X in A B C
   FOR loop in 1 2
      process X
   END
END

I hope this helps.

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for the reply.. Please check the below code......
Code:
echo -n "enter the number of ports :"
read N-----------------------------"i/p value for the loop run"
for (( i=1;i<N+1;i++ ))
do
#############STEP 4:---Enter the director name##################
echo -n "enter the director name :"
read NAME;
############STEP 5:----Enter the port number####################
echo -n "enter the port num :"
read NUM;
echo -e "\n" >>/tmp/$hostname
echo "##Write Disable##">>/tmp/$hostname----taking o/p in external file.
echo -e "\n" >>/tmp/$hostname

cat /tmp/devices | awk '{print "/usr/symcli/bin/symdev -sid" "'" $sid "'" "write_disable " $1 " -SA" "'" $NAME "'" "-p "'" $NUM "'" " }' >> /tmp/$hostname

echo "##Device Unmap##">>/tmp/$hostname
echo -e "\n" >>/tmp/$hostname

cat  /tmp/devices | awk '{print "unmap dev " $1 " from dir " "'"$NAME"'"":""'"$NUM"'" ";"}'>> /tmp/$hostname

device=`cat /tmp/devices | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/,/g'`
#################enter the wwn associated with this ######################
echo -n "enter the wwn associated with the above director port :"
read wwn
echo "symmask -sid $sid -wwn  $wwn -dir "$NAME" -p "$NUM" remove devs $device" >>/tmp/$hostname

done


after running the above code i am getting below o/p like this ....



Code:
/usr/symcli/bin/symdev -sid 4002 write_disable 29ce -SA 4B -p 0

Please put your code into code blocks - it makes it easier to read.

If you read the directory and port numbers into arrays you could loop over each array:
Code:
declare -A dirs ports
for (( i=0;i<N;i++ ))
do
   printf "enter directory "
   read dirs[$i]
   printf "endter port number "
   read ports[$i]
done
for DIR in ${dirs[@]}
do
   ...
done
for PORT in ${ports[@]}
do
   ...
done

Hello Andrew i have tried the below code
Code:
echo -n "enter the sid for DMX :"
read sid
declare -A dirs ports
echo -n "enter the number of ports :"
read N
for (( i=0;i<N;i++ ))
do
   echo "enter director "
   read dirs[$i]
   echo "enter port number "
   read ports[$i]
done
for DIR in ${dirs[@]}
do
cat /tmp/devices | awk '{print "/usr/symcli/bin/symdev -sid" "'" $sid "'" "write_disable " $1 " -SA" "'" $DIR "'" "-p "'" $NUM "'" "}'
cat  /tmp/devices | awk '{print "unmap dev " $1 " from dir " "'"$DIR"'"":""'"$NUM"'" ";"}'
done
for NUM in ${ports[@]}
do
cat /tmp/devices | awk '{print "/usr/symcli/bin/symdev -sid" "'" $sid "'" "write_disable " $1 " -SA" "'" $DIR "'" "-p "'" $NUM "'" "}'
cat  /tmp/devices | awk '{print "unmap dev " $1 " from dir " "'"$DIR"'"":""'"$NUM"'" ";"}'
done

Result

Code:

My objective is to enter the inputs "dir" and "port" at the same time. Also, i want when i run loop number of times same set of commands will concat.

Please let me know if you did nt get me i will provide you examples...

If you replace the
Code:
for var in ${array[@]}

form with the numeric for used earlier you can access both arrays in each loop:
Code:
var=${array[$index]}

(the names here are as an example) I hope this helps

Thanks for your quick reply Andrew!! but, can you please elaborate it little more i have two inputs "dir" and "ports" and i am not sure how to use them with your example...
