Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Merge 2 text files to one text file side by side Post 302283142 by quirkasaurus on Monday 2nd of February 2009 04:40:13 PM

i might make the file names a little more different just so it's easier to tell what's what.
maybe therein is the problem.

maybe like this:

grep junk some_file > grep_some_file

awk junk grep_some_file > awk_some_file

paste -d' ' awk_some_file awk_some_other_file > paste_some_files



But copying everything you've mentioned -- from the original post -- and
trying it on my system - - - - paste -d' ' worked perfectly.

it looks like ~something~ is nuking that first file argument to the paste command,
or the file name is wrong maybe....

NAME
App::Nopaste::Service::ssh - copies files to your server using scp AUTHOR
Kevin Falcone "<falcone@cpan.org>" Thomas Sibley "<trs@bestpractical.com>" ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NOPASTE_SSH_SERVER The hostname to which you ssh. The left-hand side of the colon in the scp. For example: "sartak.org". NOPASTE_SSH_DOCROOT The path on disk for your pastes. For example: "public_html/paste". NOPASTE_SSH_WEBPATH The path for URLs. For example: "http://sartak.org/paste". NOPASTE_SSH_MODE Octal permissions mode to set for the temporary file before uploading. For example: 0644. NOPASTE_SSH_USE_DESCRIPTION Use the supplied description in the paste filename for easier identification of pastes. Defaults to the source filename, if any, but is overridden by an explicit "-d" or "--description" command line argument. APACHE CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The following is a recommended Apache configuration you can drop into ".htaccess" in your paste dir. RemoveHandler .cgi RemoveHandler .pl AddDefaultCharset utf-8 Options -ExecCGI -FollowSymLinks -Includes -MultiViews It prevents common means of script execution so that ".pl" and ".cgi" files won't run and defaults the character set to UTF-8 so browsers don't have to guess wrong. perl v5.14.2 2011-08-30 App::Nopaste::Service::ssh(3pm)
