How to merge two arrays in a zipper like fashion in Bash?

Question

I am trying to merge two arrays into one in a zipper like fashion. I have difficulty to make that happen.

array1=(one three five seven)
array2=(two four six          


        

Answer 1

You can easily read the files, create an array with their content, check who is the bigger one and make the loop.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## Writting a until d into the file file01 and writing 1 until 3 into the file file02.
echo {a..d} | tee file01
echo {1..3} | tee file02

## Declaring two arrays (FILE01 and FILE02) and a variable as integer.
declare -a FILE01=($(

---

declare -a -> It creates an array

declare -i -> It declares the var as integer

${#FILE01[@]} -> It's to get the array size
