Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear all,
I am working on a noun, adjectiveand verb lemmatiser for Sindhi which will eventually be put up as open source for generic use. The tool will take a word and provide all possible forms of the word.
To achieve this I have identified the root forms and the eventual suffixes which could be added on to the root. This implies two files:
the first called

Code:

root

contains all the root forms and the second called

Code:

Suffs

contains the suffixes that can be added on to them.
An example from English will make this clear:
The file called

Code:

root

contains the following

Code:

snow
row
call
fill
shout

The file called

Code:

Suffs

contains the following

Code:

s
ed
ing

In the desired output each string from the root file is concatenated to the suffixes to generate out the forms and put them on a single file delimited by a comma, as shown below

Code:

snow,snows,snowed,snowing
row,rows,rowed,rowing
call,calls,called,calling
fill,fills,filled,filling
shout,shouts,shouted,shouting

Unlike English Sindhi morphology is complex and a single verb can admit up to thirty forms.
I would appreciate if somebody could supply a script in Perl or Awk which could concatenate the two files and spew out the contents. I work in a Windows Environment.
Many thanks in advance on behalf of the open community.

Any attempt from your side?

Howsoever, try

Code:

awk 'FNR==NR {S[$1];next} {printf "%s", $1; for (s in S) printf ",%s%s", $1, s; printf "\n"}' suffs root
snow,snowed,snows,snowing
row,rowed,rows,rowing
call,called,calls,calling
fill,filled,fills,filling
shout,shouted,shouts,shouting

Hello,
Many thanks. I did try in PERL but could not open handles to two files. I have earlier done this operation with a macro, but it was slow and cumbersome when there are a large number of suffixes. When there are two or three suffixes, the macro works just fine.
I will check out how you managed to open 2 file handles and cat the suffixes to the root. I can use the same technique for other similar operations.

Thanks a lot. I checked it on a small file with around 20 roots and 40 suffs and it works just fine
I also studied the code and saw how easy it was to open 2 files and cat the input of one to the input of the other. Thanks for the script but more for the lesson.
Ich wurde Ihnen sagen dass Ich 66 Jahren habe aber ich bin der Meinung dass man is nie sehr alt zu lernen. Vielen dank nocheinmal

Gern geschehen; you are welcome. You still can edit the post to remove the double/triple text.
