Thanks!
rajamadhavan:

That worked just great! I had something similar but without the counter, it did not work at all. I will have to check how the counter figures into the script!

I have to second Don Cragun in that I don't see what you want to do with files 11 ... 20 when your input file has just 10 lines.
And, the order in which files are retrieved by rajamadhavan's proposal seems undetermined and depends heavily on the filenames given, so there's no predetermined relation between lines and files.
You may want to reconsider your request or at least reformulate it.

Agree. Its only under the assumption that the invfile has lesser or equal # of lines than the second set (which seems to be his case).
