So maybe you're looking for:


typeset -A AssocArr1 AssocArr2
typeset -a array
typeset key value

AssocArr1=(key1 value1)
AssocArr2=(key2 value2)

# array is a normal array containing key/value pairs
array=(${(kv)AssocArr1} ${(kv)AssocArr2})

# scan array by pairs
for key value in $array
    do echo $key $value
done


?
