append two lines

Hello All,

I am having trouble with the following: I need to take filea and append it to fileb side by side. ie:

filea fileb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb

I need to build a file (filec) with columns from filea and fileb. I have been trying to use sed to do this. Any ideas?

Hi,

Try 'paste' command. Man 'paste'.
