looping through variables
Hi,

I tired to do this in a korn shell on an HP-UX 9000/800...

Code:
var1="a b c"
var2="d e f"

vars="var1 var2"

for i in $vars
do
   for j in $i
   do
      echo $i $j
   done
done

When run, this would output
var1 var1
var2 var2

I was hoping to get
var1 a
var1 b
var1 c
var2 a
var2 b
var2 c

Is it possible to achieve this in the korn shell I specified above? Please let me know how.

Regards,

Andy

Change:
for j in $i
to:
eval iContents=\$$i
for j in $iContents
