Loop over tuples in bash?

Question

Is it possible to loop over tuples in bash?

As an example, it would be great if the following worked:

for (i,j) in ((c,3), (e,5)); do echo \"$i and $         


        

Answer 1

do echo $key $value
done < file_discriptor

for example:

$ while read key value; do echo $key $value ;done < c 3
> e 5
> EOF
c 3
e 5

$ echo -e 'c 3\ne 5' > file

$ while read key value; do echo $key $value ;done  file

$ while IFS=, read key value; do echo $key $value ;done
