Any attempts/ideas/thoughts from your side?

Why do you limit the fsecond.txt file's lines to 5?

---------- Post updated at 21:08 ---------- Previous update was at 21:06 ----------

Howsoever, without the limit, this might work:
Code:
while read A; do while read B; do echo $A$B; done <file4; done < file3
A1
A2
A3
A4
A5
A6
A7
A8
A9
A10
B1
B2
B3
B4
B5
.

.

No, sir, I have put (example) as a mark that this 10-line length is just an example.

What am I about to use is a dictionary text file with about 5000 lines.
The essence here is...that those two files does not have same number of lines AND the script should end when the last line from
Code:
ffirst.txt

is combined with all the lines from
Code:
fsecond.txt

.

I am about to try your suggested solution, and see how it goes.

Anyways, thank you for such a prompt response!

Best regards, gandrinno!

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
