Combining files

[Enda martin]

Hi,
is there a way to combine 2 files together, joining line 1 from file A with line 1 from file B, line 2 from A with line 2 from B etc.

File A File B
1 4
2 5
3 6

Combined result =
File C
14
25
36

Hello,

You could do :

paste fileA fileB | sed -e 's/ //g' > fileC

where the char in sed is a "tab" char.

You can try...

Hi Enda,

paste -d"\0" filea fileb > filec

should do it.

You could do like the following :

paste fileA fileB | awk '{print $1 $2}'> fileC

Also:

pr -m -t fileA fileB | awk '{print $1 $2 }'> fileC
