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."
