combining fields in two text fields

shocker · #1 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008

Can someone tell me how to do this using sed, awk, or any other basic shell scripting? Basically I have two text files with the following contained in each file:

File A:
a b c
d e f
g h i

File B:
1
2
3

I want the final outcome to look like this:

a b c 1
d e f 2
g h i 3

How would I do this? Thanks in advance!
