What happens in the loop?---specifically, do you access the files one at a time? Or perhaps--at each stage, you access all files with suffix "aaa" and then all with "bbb"
What happens in the loop?---specifically, do you access the files one at a time? Or perhaps--at each stage, you access all files with suffix "aaa" and then all with "bbb"
inside the loop I call an executable and send $i $j as two parameters, where this executable will open and read these two files
so on each iteration following files are used: file1.aaa file1.bbb
next iteration: file2.aaa file2.bbb

a good solution would be to iterate on all *.aaa files
and inside the loop, I'd just change the extension on each $i parameter to be .bbb
and so the problem could be solved
