I played with it a little bit to get the hang of it.
I hit a roadblock as soon as I replaced "1 2 3 4 5" in the nested for loop with "animals fruits drinks cities countries". I tried it in 2 ways but got the same result in both attempts. I also tried putting
Code:
typeset array[animals]="dog cat horse penguin cow"
typeset array[fruits]="orange apple grapes peach mango"
typeset array[drinks]="juice milk coffee tea coke"
typeset array[cities]="toronto paris london glasgow sydney"
typeset array[countries]="canada france england scotland australia"
all=(animals fruits drinks cities countries)
typeset -i i=1
typeset -i j=1
printf 'Output 1\n\n';
# display column-wise
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for j in animals fruits drinks cities countries; do
echo "${array[${j}]}" | cut -d' ' -f $i
done
done
printf '\n\nOutput 2\n\n';
# display column-wise
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for j in "${all[@]}" ; do
echo "${array[${j}]}" | cut -d' ' -f $i
done
done
Code:
abc@xyz$ ./typeset.sh
Output 1

I had also tried the following and still got the same results:
Code:
typeset array['animals']="dog cat horse penguin cow"
typeset array['fruits']="orange apple grapes peach mango"
typeset array['drinks']="juice milk coffee tea coke"
typeset array['cities']="toronto paris london glasgow sydney"
typeset array['countries']="canada france england scotland australia"
all=('animals' 'fruits' 'drinks' 'cities' 'countries')
At least this alternative works just fine:
Code:
typeset array[1]="dog cat horse penguin cow"
typeset array[2]="orange apple grapes peach mango"
typeset array[3]="juice milk coffee tea coke"
typeset array[4]="toronto paris london glasgow sydney"
typeset array[5]="canada france england scotland australia"
all=(1 2 3 4 5)
# display column-wise
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for j in "${all[@]}"; do
echo "${array[$j]}" | cut -d' ' -f $i
done
done

Is there a way to make it work with all=(animals fruits drinks cities countries) ?
