For loop problems ...hel me

[bossman5000]

write a Unix shellscripthat will take the information from two files and combine into another file

I created both files in vi and they are

file1

David 734.854.5643

Roberto 313.432.4532

Sally 267.423.5412

Mary 435.432.7654

Ted 324.642.6743

Alice 234.576.3245

Frank 342.465.6754

and the second file is

file2

Roberto Tuesday 2

Sally Monday 8

Ted Sunday 16

Alice Wednesday 23

David Thursday 10

Mary Saturday 14

Frank Friday 15

The output file should be like this:

Name----------------On-Call--------------------Phone-------Start Time

Sally---------------- Monday ---------------267.423.5412------8am

Roberto-------------Tuesday---------------313.432.4532---------2am

Alice---------------Wednesday-------------234.576.3245-------11pm

David---------------Thursday---------------734.854.5643---------10am

Frank----------------Friday------------------342.465.6754-------3pm

Mary---------------Saturday-----------------435.432.7654-------2pm

Ted-----------------Sunday------------------324.642.6743------4pm

$file1 | sort > file1.sort

$file2 | sort > $file2.sort

echo -e "name\t days\t \phone numbers\t \Time\t"

for day in Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

name=`cat $file2.sort | grep $Oncall | cut -d, -f1`

if { $name }; then

phone = `cat file1.sort | grep $name | cut -d, -f2`

echo -e "$names\t \days\t \$phonenumbers \$Time

fi

done

Did I do the for loop right??

What else do i need to add to the loop.

how to loop around again??

I know how to do the convert time
