foreach question

OK, so I am extremely rusty and am just getting back to Unix after 9 years.

I'm stuck on something easy. I want to search line-by-line for a string in a file, and I want to do this to a series of files in a directory.

This works fine to do the search:

while read i; do grep $i file2; done <file1.txt

This also works fine to read a directory:

foreach file ('/bin/ls *.txt')
echo $file
end

but if I try and combine the two, no joy.

foreach file ('/bin/ls *.txt')
while read i; do grep $i file2; done <$file
end

Help please!

PPI::Statement::Compound(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       PPI::Statement::Compound(3)

NAME
PPI::Statement::Compound - Describes all compound statements SYNOPSIS
# A compound if statement if ( foo ) { bar(); } else { baz(); } # A compound loop statement foreach ( @list ) { bar($_); } INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Compound isa PPI::Statement isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
"PPI::Statement::Compound" objects are used to describe all current forms of compound statements, as described in perlsyn. This covers blocks using "if", "unless", "for", "foreach", "while", and "continue". Please note this does not cover "simple" statements with trailing conditions. Please note also that "do" is also not part of a compound statement. # This is NOT a compound statement my $foo = 1 if $condition; # This is also not a compound statement do { ... } until $condition; METHODS
"PPI::Statement::Compound" has a number of methods in addition to the standard PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element methods. type The "type" method returns the syntactic type of the compound statement. There are four basic compound statement types. The 'if' type includes all variations of the if and unless statements, including any 'elsif' or 'else' parts of the compound statement. The 'while' type describes the standard while and until statements, but again does not describes simple statements with a trailing while. The 'for' type covers the C-style for loops, regardless of whether they were declared using 'for' or 'foreach'. The 'foreach' type covers loops that iterate over collections, regardless of whether they were declared using 'for' or 'foreach'. All of the compounds are a variation on one of these four. Returns the simple string 'if', 'for', 'foreach' or 'while', or "undef" if the type cannot be determined. TO DO
