2 while read loops?

Question

So the object of the script I\'m making is to compare files from two while read lists that have file path names in them...

while read compareFile <&3;         


        

Answer 1

while read newfile <&3; do   
 if [[ ! $newfile =~ [^[:space:]] ]] ; then  #empty line exception
    continue
 fi   
 #
 while read oldfile <&3; do   
 if [[ ! $oldfile =~ [^[:space:]] ]] ; then  #empty line exception
    continue
 fi   
    echo Comparing "$newfile" with "$oldfile"
    #
    if diff "$newfile" "$oldfile" >/dev/null ; then
      echo The files compared are the same. No changes were made.
    else
        echo The files compared are different.
        #
    fi    
  done 3
