I have file called file.txt contain the following lines:

abc
bga
sre

I would like to print the lines in file.txt one by one. The expected output should be as follows:

first gud = abc
second gud= bga
third gud = sre
fouth gud = abc
fifth gud= bga
sixth gud = sre
seventh gud = abc
eighth gud= bga
ninth gud = sre
tenth gud = abc

I used this code, but it did not work:

gud()
 get=$(cat file.txt)
 echo $get

for i in 1..10
do
 gud
done

What I am doing wrong?

I see you need to read the input file in rotate as long as with the number of times you have had specified.

l=$(wc -l <infile)
for i in 1..10; do 
 sed -n "$( (($i % l == 0 )) && sed -n '$=' <infile || echo $(($i % l)) )"p <infile;
done

This will gives you a result as you'r expecting:

abc
bga
sre
abc
bga
sre
abc
bga
sre
abc

(BTW, it's quite slow)

This might be a slightly better and faster approach.
Create a script readAndRotate.sh:

#!/bin/bash

declare -a hmm

hmm=(`cat $1`)
numElem=$#hmm[@]

for i in 0..9
do
 echo "$hmm[ $(( $i % $numElem )) ]"

Then run it like this:

readAndRotate.sh file.txt

and the output looks like:

This code will iterate between the three lines in file.txt as follows:

#!/bin/bash
for x in 1..3; do
 while ((i++)); read -r line # ++ is post increment, increments value by 1
do
 # get one number at a time
 digit=$(echo $i )
 # Case control structure to replace digit equivalent in words 
 case $digit in
 1) echo -n "First ";;
 2) echo -n "Second ";;
 3) echo -n "Third ";;
 4) echo -n "Fourth ";;
 5) echo -n "Fifth ";;
 6) echo -n "Sixth ";;
 7) echo -n "Seventh ";;
 8) echo -n "Eighth ";;
 9) echo -n "Ninth ";;
 10) echo -n "Tenth ";;
 11) echo -n "Eleventh ";;
 esac 
 echo $digit"gud""= $line" | tr -d '0123456789'

done < file.txt
done

The output is as follows:

First gud= abc
Second gud= bga
Third gud= sre
Fifth gud= abc
Sixth gud= bga
Seventh gud= sre
Nineth gud= abc
Tenth gud= bga
Eleventh gud= sre

This code will iterate between the three lines in file.txt as follows:

#!/bin/bash
for x in 1..3; do
 while ((i++)); read -r line # ++ is post increment, increments value by 1
do
 # get one number at a time
 digit=$(echo $i )
 # Case control structure to replace digit equivalent in words 
 case $digit in
 1) echo -n "First ";;
 2) echo -n "Second ";;
 3) echo -n "Third ";;
 4) echo -n "Fourth ";;
 5) echo -n "Fifth ";;
 6) echo -n "Sixth ";;
 7) echo -n "Seventh ";;
 8) echo -n "Eighth ";;
 9) echo -n "Ninth ";;
 10) echo -n "Tenth ";;
 11) echo -n "Eleventh ";;
 esac 
 echo $digit"gud""= $line" | tr -d '0123456789'

done < file.txt
done

The output is as follows:

First gud= abc
Second gud= bga
Third gud= sre
Fifth gud= abc
Sixth gud= bga
Seventh gud= sre
Nineth gud= abc
Tenth gud= bga
Eleventh gud= sre
