Hi allal
That code runs the for loop of file2 for every line in file1,so it prints line1 of file1 n times where n is the number of lines in file2.

1rray1-1rray2-1
2rray1-2rray2-2
3rray1-3rray2-3
4rray1-4rray2-4
5rray1-5rray2-5
6rray1-6rray2-6
7rray1-7rray2-7

It seems there is something wrong with the %% signs
