Thanks cool. a derived question, for a.txt: 1 a 2 a 3 a for b.txt 1 b 2 b 3 b what if I only interested the 2 filed. namely a b a b a b I tried use paste -d ' ' a.txt b.txt | awk 'print $2, $4' are there some other way of doing it? No doubt it's a very smart list, I wasted 1 hour writing some not sound python script, it's a bunch of files anyway.
