--- layout: page author: Agostino Monti category-page: advanced category-title: Advanced commands tags: filie coluns analize title: paste --- The paste command 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, paste 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, paste will output a newline character and move on to the next line.
