Column to row - in order to create zones
i need a script that reads a wwn file like this:

LOCAL_HOST (before)
Code:
50:01:24:82:00:6c:a9:04
21:00:00:24:ff:30:35:7b
21:00:00:24:ff:30:35:70

and will run over the file with all the wwn's in the same row in order to create zones on a switch
like so:

LOCAL_HOST (after)
Code:
zonecreate  " ( uses the file name "LOCAL_HOST") ","50:01:24:82:00:6c:a9:04; 21:00:00:24:ff:30:35:7b; 21:00:00:24:ff:30:35:7b"

the format is
Code:
zonecreate "ZONE_NAME" ,"wwn;wwn;wwn"

*there could be as many as 100 wwn`s in a file
as always
any help willl be appreciate

this works great!
i was wondering if it's possible to list all *.txt files in current folder and choose a file to use instead of "myWWNfile.txt" ?
like so:

Code:
Please select your wwn file:
1.LOCAL_HOST.txt
2.REMOTE_HOST.txt
3.RS.TXT
4.myWWNfile.txt
