How bout this? Works on OpenBSD's sh; I assume it works on Free's sh as well. Might take a while to run, though... #!/bin/sh notify () { if [ ${VERBOSE} ]; then echo "===> $*" fi } VERBOSE=1 LIST1=/path/to/list1 LIST2=/path/to/list2 LIST3=/path/to/list3 NEWWORDCT=0 if [ ! -f "${LIST3}" ]; then touch ${LIST3} fi for WORD1 in $(< ${LIST1}); do for WORD2 in $(< ${LIST2}); do echo "${WORD1}${WORD2}" >> ${LIST3} echo "${WORD2}${WORD1}" >> ${LIST3} NEWWORDCT=$((NEWWORDCT + 2)) done done sort ${LIST3} | uniq > ${LIST3}-sorted notify "Created ${NEWWORDCT} new words in file ${LIST3}; a sorted version" notify "can be found at ${LIST3}-sorted." -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | jabber:..wcmaier@jabber.ccc.de | email:..........wcmaier@ml1.net | | \.........wcmaier@cae.wisc.edu | \..........wcmaier@cae.wisc.edu | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------*
