Hi,

I have few files like this:
file1:
22 110.1 33 331.5 22.7 5 271.9 17.2 33.4 4 55.1

file1 has total 4 column but some of them are missing in few row.

file2:
5 H
22 0

file3:
4 T
5 B
22 C
121 S

in all these files first column is the main source of matching their entries. 
So What I want in the output is only those entries which is coming in all three 
files.

output required:

5 271.9 17.2 33.4 5 H 5 T
22 110.1     22 0 22 C

I am trying with this :

from collections import defaultdict

def merge(sources):
    blanks = [blank for items, blank, keyfunc in sources]
    d = defaultdict(lambda: blanks[:])
    for index, (items, blank, keyfunc) in enumerate(sources):
        for item in items:
            d[keyfunc(item)][index] = item
    for key in sorted(d):
        yield d[key]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = open("input1.txt")
c = open("input2.txt")

    def key(line):
        return line[:2]
    def source(stream, blank="", key=key):
        return (line.strip() for line in stream), blank, key
    for m in merge([source(x) for x in [a,c]]):
        print "|".join(c.ljust(10) for c in m)

but with input1.txt:
187    7.79   122.27   54.37   4.26   179.75
194    8.00   121.23   54.79   4.12   180.06
15    8.45   119.04   55.02   4.08   178.89
176    7.78   118.68   54.57   4.20   181.06
180    7.50   119.21   53.93      179.80
190    7.58   120.44   54.62   4.25   180.02
152    8.39   120.63   55.10   4.15   179.10
154    7.79   119.62   54.47   4.22   180.46
175    8.42   120.50   55.31   4.04   180.33
and input2.txt:
15 H 37 H 95 T 124 H 130 H 152 H 154 H 158 H 164 H 175 H 176 H 180 H 187 H 190 T
194   C
196 H 207 H 210 H 232 H it is giving output as:
          |
          |124   H
          |130   H
154    7.79   119.62   54.47   4.22   180.46|158   H
          |164   H
175    8.42   120.50   55.31   4.04   180.33|176   H
180    7.50   119.21   53.93      179.80|187   H
190    7.58   120.44   54.62   4.25   180.02|196   H
          |207   H
          |210   H
          |232   H
          |37   H
          |95   T
so it not matching it properly, can anyone please suggest where I am doing 
mistake.


Several mistakes here, some in making it unnecessarily complex, but I'll concentrate on the ones that just don't work.

Your key() function returns the first two characters of the line. So you're keying not on the whole number, but only on the first two digits of it. To find out what's going on, you need to decompose the complex line from:
           d[keyfunc(item)][index] = item

to some things you can actually examine:
                      key = keyfunc(item)
                      d[key][index] = item


You don't make any check to see if a particular item is in all the files. For your particular data structure, this would mean that a particular value in the dictionary (which is a list of two items) has all non-blank strings in it. To do this, you might want to do an all() function on the list.
