OK ... so i made 1.txt file containing
1
2
3
4....
and I made 2.txt file containing
a
b
c
d...
and after using the paste command i got

1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f
7 g
8 h
9 i

So it works. For some reason it is killing the first file. Now I just found out that if i do not use the deliminator I get this

[77225 loc]$ paste temp113-lat.txt temp113-lon.txt
2645.0805105.471900
2644.5485105.626300
2643.7325104.146495
2643.7325104.146495
2643.7325104.146495
2644.9895103.428400
2645.7915103.305700

lat lon
2647.358 | 5103.446300

It has some digits missing from the lat file it should be XXXX.XXXXXX but all of the digits are in the lon file. I wonder what is causing this to happen? Why would it not want to read the first file with a deliminator? I think it is a conspiracy.
