Shell Programming and Scripting

I'm not sure if i can put the problem in understandable form.Let me try:


I have a array which is like and always fixed:
Array1=(new inprogress pending Restored Resolved )

Other 2 array array2 which may varry but always subset of above array:
Like it can be :
Array2=(New inprogress Resolved)
Array 3 always corresponds to array2. Which says time spent in each state if array2.Like
Array3=(2min 3 min 4min)

Now, i have to display the time spent for each state of array2 in the order they are in array1 and if any element of array1 doesnt exist in array2 implies its 0 min.

So in above example output should be Like:
new => 2min
inprogress =>3 min
pending =>0 min
Restored =>0min
Resolved => 4min

Could u pls help me in that ?

In case elements of Array2 are identical to the ones of Array1 (which they are not, "new" - "New") and count of elements in Array2 is equal to the count of Array3 (which it is not, 3 - 4 due to space in "3 min") this might do the job:

Code:

for (( i=0; i<${#Array1[@]}; i++ ))
        do echo -n ${Array1[$i]}" => "
           for (( j=0; j<${#Array2[@]}; j++ ))
                do [ ${Array1[$i]} == ${Array2[$j]} ] && { tmp=${Array3[$j]}; break; } || tmp="0min"
                done 
           echo $tmp
        done

May be refined.

Thanks a lot it was very much helpful.
