Reading from a specific line in a loop
Hello All,
Request you to let me know how to do the below urgently..
Requirement
File A Contains:
for i in file A
DEV1
DEV5
STG1
STG5
File B Contains:
for j in file B
DEV1
DEV5
STG1
STG5
take the first value of i and compare with the other values of j - 4 comparisons
take the second value of i and compare with the other values of j - again 4 comparisons which is not required cos...DEV1 has been already compared with DEV 5 and therefore DEV5 need not be compared with DEV1 again...
Therefore we need to have a logic like...
DEV1 should read lines below it in j
DEV5 should only compare lines below it in j
and so on...
and do i implement this logic....how do i tell the inner loop to do this in UNIX..
Please help...
THank you

I have written a script to read the file line by line.
It is reading and printing the lines.
But it is coming out of loop before reading last line.
So I am not able to print last line.

break(1) User Commands break(1)
NAME
break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until loop
SYNOPSIS
sh
break [n]
continue [n]
csh
break
continue
ksh
*break [n]
*continue [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at the n-th enclosing loop.
csh
The break utility resumes execution after the end of the nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining commands on the current
line are executed. This allows multilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands, all on one line.
The continue utility continues execution of the next iteration of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop.
ksh
The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop, if any. If n is specified, then break n levels. If n is
greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified then resume at the n-
th enclosed loop. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and also that word splitting and file name genera-
tion are not performed.
