array as loopvariable - howto

[jarausch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi

I would like to write a loop over a list of arrays,

e.g. I would like to iterate over pairs of (username,UID)

A naiv try like

for User in (User1,100) (User2,120); do  echo "$U[1] has UID $U[2]";
done

failed.
Is this possible in ZSH?

Many thanks for a hint,
