I mean I don't see any relationship between the code you have shown us and the question I think you are asking.
  1. You need to explain what you are trying to do.
  2. You need to explain what is not working.
  3. You need to show us the code that is not working.
  4. You need to show us the output produced by the code you're using (including any diagnostic messages).
  5. You need to show us the output you want your code to produce.
Note that:
Code:
 for...
 do
 do something
 done

is NOT very useful when trying to diagnose errors in code. All we can say is that the 2nd do does not have a matching done and that ... and something might be the source of your problem.

And, showing us code in one script and asking whether or not another script (whose code you have not shown us) can figure out how to do something else baffles me.
