using two variables in two different files
I have file1 contents as
Code:
aaa
bbb
ccc

file2 contents as
Code:
ddd
eee
fff

I need to write for loop with two variables, so that I get the output as follows.
I have a third file that contain following
Code:
aaa 111
bbb 111
ccc 111

I need to replace them as follows
Code:
aaa ddd
bbb eee
ccc fff

I don't understand how that third file fits in, but you can simply paste the first two files to get the final result:
Code:
paste file1 file2

I try below
Code:
server 1# cat file1
aaa
bbb

server 1# cat file2
ccc
ddd

server 1# cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
var=`paste file1 file2`
echo $var

server 1 # sh test.sh
aaa ccc bbb ddd

I need output as follows
Code:
aaa ccc
bbb ddd
