Actually that 1 is example. I write out scipt in C shell.
But the teory same like up there.
It mean that i use 2 while loop to read 2 file at 1 time.

Hopefully, you can have nested loops with any programming language. I would recommend avoiding csh or tcsh for any scripting. Your example tries to use a "for" syntax, not a "while" one, but the former is missing from csh. Please switch to a POSIX syntax based shell like ksh or bash.
