<p><code>paste</code> is a Unix command line utility which is used to join files horizontally
|
||
|
|
(parallel merging) by outputting lines consisting of the sequentially corresponding
|
||
|
|
lines of each file specified, separated by tabs, to the standard output.
|
||
|
|
Once involved, <code>paste</code> will read all its file arguments. For each corresponding line,
|
||
|
|
paste will append the contents of each file at that line to its output along with a tab.
|
||
|
|
When it has completed its operation for the last file, <code>paste</code> will output a newline
|
||
|
|
character and move on to the next line.</p>

<h3><code>cat</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>cat</code> is a standard Unix utility that reads files sequentially, writing them to standard output.
|
||
|
|
The name is derived from its function to con<code>cat</code>enate files.</p>

<h4>Examples</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p><pre>
|
||
|
|
paste file1.txt file2.txt <br>
|
||
|
|
cat fail1.txt fail2.txt</pre></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>flags</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>-d</code> delimiters, which specifies a list of delimiters to be used instead of tabs
|
||
|
|
for separating consecutive values on a single line. Each delimiter is used in turn;
|
||
|
|
when the list has been exhausted, paste begins again at the first delimiter.
|
||
|
|
<h4>Examples</h4>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
paste -d "|" file1.txt file2.txt
|
||
|
|
paste -d "|," file1.txt file2.txt</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><code>-s</code>, which causes paste to append the data in serial rather than in parallel;
|
||
|
|
that is, in a horizontal rather than vertical fashion.
|
||
|
|
<h4>Examples</h4>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
paste -s file1.txt file2.txt</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><code>-u</code> is one option flag, <code>-u</code> for unbuffered output,
|
||
|
|
meaning that each byte is written after it has been read.
|
||
|
|
<h4>Examples</h4>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
cat -u file1.txt file2.txt</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><code>-n</code> this option numbers all output lines
|
||
|
|
<h4>Examples</h4>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
cat -n file1.txt
|
||
|
|
cat -n file1.txt file2.txt</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>
