str1="this oracle data base record"
str2="one two three four five"

Output:
this one
oracle two
data three
base four
record five

str1 and str2 have the same column but they are not fixed columns.

I can do it with "paste" but I do not want to create file everytime the
script runs from cron.

Try...

Code:

set -- $str2
for i in $str1
do
  echo $i $1
  shift
done

Thank you Ygor.
Now I can optimize my script because it creates 2
files every hour and I use paste. Now this is better.

If you have other ideas just post it here.
I just want you to know that you always inspire me
with your problem resolutions because I always go
here and search for solutions when I encounter problems.
Most of the time my 10 lines of code can be done using
one liner commands. Thanks again.
