Running nmap via bash script

Hello fellow scripters...

I am trying to set up a script for work that reads the contents of a file of IP address and network names, takes these and runs a given nmap scan against them and then saves the output to a file with the filename of the network name.

Such as...

IP file looks like this:
1.2.3.0/24 network1
2.3.4.0/24 network2

Script would cat the contents of this file, take the IP portion and put it in the nmap scan command and then the output of that nmap scan would be saved to a file called network1.nmap, network2.nmap, etc.

Is this possible? If so, how? It seems like I need to do *something* with the IP file so that the network address and name are saved/referenced separately I just can't figure out what I need to do to make this happen.

Thank you for any assistance and guidance you can offer!

I am slightly new to scripting and volunteered to see if I could work this out to give myself some experience in both scripting and online research.

XSetPointerMapping(3X11)					  XLIB FUNCTIONS					  XSetPointerMapping(3X11)

NAME
XSetPointerMapping, XGetPointerMapping - manipulate pointer settings SYNTAX
int XSetPointerMapping(display, map, nmap) Display *display; unsigned char map[]; int nmap; int XGetPointerMapping(display, map_return, nmap) Display *display; unsigned char map_return[]; int nmap; ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. map Specifies the mapping list. map_return Returns the mapping list. nmap Specifies the number of items in the mapping list. DESCRIPTION
The XSetPointerMapping function sets the mapping of the pointer. If it succeeds, the X server generates a MappingNotify event, and XSet- PointerMapping returns MappingSuccess. Element map[i] defines the logical button number for the physical button i+1. The length of the list must be the same as XGetPointerMapping would return, or a BadValue error results. A zero element disables a button, and elements are not restricted in value by the number of physical buttons. However, no two elements can have the same nonzero value, or a BadValue error results. If any of the buttons to be altered are logically in the down state, XSetPointerMapping returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is not changed. XSetPointerMapping can generate a BadValue error. The XGetPointerMapping function returns the current mapping of the pointer. Pointer buttons are numbered starting from one. XGetPoint- erMapping returns the number of physical buttons actually on the pointer. The nominal mapping for a pointer is map[i]=i+1. The nmap argu- ment specifies the length of the array where the pointer mapping is returned, and only the first nmap elements are returned in map_return. DIAGNOSTICS
BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argu- ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error. SEE ALSO
