UNIX Command Line

I already discussed about bash array in one of my older post . Here is a simple bash script to show how we can join two arrays field by field.

$ cat combarr.sh

#!/bin/sh

COUNTRY=( "Japan" "China" "India")
CAPITAL=( "Tokyo" "Beijing" "New Delhi")

n=${#COUNTRY[@]} #num elements in array COUNTRY

for (( i=0; i<n; i++ ))
do
COMB[$i]=${COUNTRY[$i]}"["${CAPITAL[$i]}"]"
echo ${COMB[$i]}
done

Executing:

$ ./combarr.sh
Japan[Tokyo]
China[Beijing]
India[New Delhi]
