Script to iterate over several options
Have two 3 files which has list of servers,users and location and base url which is common on every server

Code:
A = server1 server2 server3
B = user1 user2 user3
C =  dom1 dom2 dom3
baseurl=/opt/SP/

and what i have to achieve is below via ssh from REMOTE SERVER

for it's first iteration it ssh to user1@server1 and goes to /opt/SP/user1/dom1
for it's second iteration it ssh to user2@server2 and goes to /opt/SP/user2/dom2
for it's third iteration it ssh to user3@server3 and goes to /opt/SP/user3/dom3

Welcome to the forum.


Any attempts / ideas / thoughts from your side?


What does "two 3 files" mean when you show just one sample file?

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment Please use meaningful thread titles. "Shell Script:" is NOT meaningful in a subforum for shell scripting. (Hint: "Thread" or "Question" would be not meaningful either.)


Will there always be three possibilities for each or might the numbers vary? Can there be quoted strings like:

Code:
dom = dom1 "this is dom2" dom3

to take into account? Will the field separator always be a single space?

I hope this helps.

Code:
BASE=/opt/SP/
set -- server1 user1 dom1 server2 user2 dom2 server3 user3 dom3

while [ "$#" -gt 0 ]
do
        ssh -t "$2@$1" "cd $BASE/$3 ; exec bash"
        shift 3
done

If I remember correctly, you "Have two 3 files which has list of servers,users and location and base url". How do you massage those data into the form Corona688's proposal requires?
