Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I would like a to have an script that would accept variables for "foruser" and "touser" during an db import..
I am pasting an sample script below...
The "and" in the below script needs to changed..to a correct syntax

Code:

for i in `cat /tmp/from` and  for j  in `cat /tmp/to`
do
{
imp fromuser=$i touser=$j .....
}
done

cat /temp/from
1
2

cat /tmp/to
3
4

For the first run ::: fromuser=1 and touser=3
second run ::: fromuser=2and touser=4

Thanks.

You can do something like this:

Code:

awk '{getline from < "/tmp/from"} {print from "," $0} ' /tmp/to |
while IFS="," read fromuser touser
do
  echo "$fromuser" en "$touser"
  # do your stuff here
done

Thanks Franklin..It did work..
