Hello,

Can anyony give me a hint on how I can merge the data from file1(data per line) to the end of line of file2. So what I mean is, I want to add every line from file1 to the end of the corresponding line of file2.

Not sure I understand what you are asking.

Here is an answer to one interpretation

Code:

cat file1 >> file2

Here is an answer to another interpretation

Code:

mv file2 file2.tmp

paste file2.tmp file1 > file2

The second interpretation was exactly what I was looking for! Paste is the cmd I needed.
