You could read in the files simultaneously by opening them in different file descriptors, then use "read" to read from these descriptors.
Code:
exec 3</path/to/file1
exec 4</path/to/file2
typeset chBuffer1=""
typeset chBuffer2=""
while read -u3 chBuffer1 ; do
read -u4 chBuffer2
if [ <put your tests using chBuffer1 and chBuffer2 here> ] ; then
....
else
....
fi
done
exec 3<&-
exec 4<&-

pipe
pipe(2) System Calls pipe(2)NAME
pipe - create an interprocess channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int pipe(int fildes[2]);
DESCRIPTION
The pipe() function creates an I/O mechanism called a pipe and returns two file descriptors, fildes[0] and fildes[1]. The files associated
with fildes[0] and fildes[1] are streams and are both opened for reading and writing. The O_NDELAY, O_NONBLOCK, and FD_CLOEXEC flags are
cleared on both file descriptors. The fcntl(2) function can be used to set these flags.
A read from fildes[0] accesses the data written to fildes[1] on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis and a read from fildes[1] accesses the
data written to fildes[0] also on a FIFO basis.
Upon successful completion pipe() marks for update the st_atime, st_ctime, and st_mtime fields of the pipe.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pipe() function will fail if:
EMFILE More than {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors are already in use by this process.
ENFILE The number of simultaneously open files in the system would exceed a system-imposed limit.
ATTRIBUTES

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO sh(1), fcntl(2), fstat(2), getmsg(2), poll(2), putmsg(2), read(2), write(2), attributes(5), standards(5), streamio(7I)NOTES
Since a pipe is bi-directional, there are two separate flows of data. Therefore, the size (st_size) returned by a call to fstat(2) with
argument fildes[0] or fildes[1] is the number of bytes available for reading from fildes[0] or fildes[1] respectively. Previously, the
size (st_size) returned by a call to fstat() with argument fildes[1] (the write-end) was the number of bytes available for reading from
fildes[0] (the read-end).
