What's a quick way to do this, /g/? Pic should be self-explanatory,

Prelude> zip ["aaaa", "bbbb"] ["cccc", "dddd"]
[("aaaa","cccc"),("bbbb","dddd")]

what are you doing one of those take home interviews?

>>58616608

#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
ar1=($text1)
ar2=($text2)
printf '%s\n' "$ar1" "$ar2" "${ar1[1]}" "${ar2[1]}"

>>58616608
If you want that empty line

#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
ar1=($text1)
ar2=($text2)
printf '%s\n' "$ar1" "$ar2" '' "${ar1[1]}" "${ar2[1]}"

>printf in bash

>>58616608
text 1 on tape #1
text 2 on tape #2
begin
read tape #1
put tape #3
read tape tape #2
put tape #3
if not tape end goto begin

Yes, so? How would you do that in echo, print every arguments in multiple lines? You'd have to make multiple calls to echo, or make a helper function.

echolines() {
    for a; do
        echo "$a"
    done
}

Using printf this way is way cleaner. Plus, it's got some neat features, like quoting and displaying dates. It's even more portable, the -e/-n situation in echo is a portability mess. Speaking of echo, you can't use "--" in it, so there's no way to prevent user input from disappearing when they specify either one of -e, -n, -en, or -ne. This does not happen in printf.

'\n\n'.join('\n'.join(pair) for pair in zip('AAAA\nBBBB'.split(), 'CCCC\nDDDD'.split()))

Could you mail me your punch card?

>>58616608

In Ruby:

def zip_it(t1, t2)
  t1.split.zip(t2.split).map{|i| i.join("\n") + "\n\n"}  
end

puts zip_it("AAAA\nBBBB", "CCCC\nDDDD")
