This article mainly introduces how to use linux's paste command to merge two files, which has certain reference value and can be used for reference by friends who need it. Let's take a look at it with me.

The paste command merges each file column by column, column by column, which is equivalent to pasting the contents of two different files together to form a new file.

Note: the paste default paste method pastes as columns, but it is not impossible to paste as rows. Add the-s option to paste in rows.

Syntax format: paste [parameters] [File 1] [File 2]

Common parameters:

The delimiter of the-d default field is the space or tab key, set the new field delimiter-s paste each file into a line-read data from standard input

Reference example

Paste file_2 and file_2 into a new file:

[root@linuxcool ~] # cat file_1

Aaa

Bbb

Ccc

Ddd

Eee

[root@linuxcool ~] # cat file_2

AAA

BBB

CCC

DDD

EEE

[root@linuxcool ~] # paste file_1 file_2

Aaa AAA

Bbb BBB

Ccc CCC

Ddd DDD

Eee EEE

Set the domain delimiter to: paste into a new file:

[root@linuxcool ~] # paste-d: file_1 file_2

Aaa:AAA

Bbb:BBB

Ccc:CCC

Ddd:DDD

Eee:EEE

Paste each file into a line:

[root@linuxcool ~] # cat file_1

Aaa

Bbb

Ccc

Ddd

Eee

[root@linuxcool ~] # cat file_2

AAA

BBB

CCC

DDD

EEE

[root@linuxcool] # paste-d:-s file_1 file_2

Aaa:bbb:ccc:ddd:eee

AAA:BBB:CCC:DDD:EEE

Read data from standard input, showing 5 file names per line:

[root@linuxcool ~] # ls | paste-d ""-

Anaconda-ks.cfg dir_1 file1 file_1 file_1.db

File_2 file_3 file_4 file_5 file_6

File.db file_hobby_1 file_hobby.db file_hobby_sort.db file_sort.db
