Inserting variables from 2 files to create 1 file - UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

rochitsharma · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2008

Hi,

I have 2 files which are as follows:

Num:
548983
748932
783928
547383
839284

Grp:
2389
9873
8493
7382
8493

I need to make an output file using both of these files.
My output file should look like.....

<start>
<num>748932</num>
<field></field>
<grp>9873</grp>
<Node>DKL</Node>
</start>

<start>
<num>548983</num>
<field></field>
<grp>2389</grp>
<Node>DKL</Node>
</start>

and so on.....
Please Help
Thanks in advance....

Regards
Rochit

Code:

paste Num Grp | awk '{print "</start>\n<num>"$1"</num>\n<field></field>\n<grp>"$2"</grp>\n<Node>DKL</Node>\n</start>\n\n"}'
