Adding loads of columns
Hi All,

I've got file1 like this:
Code:
aaa bbb ccc
ddd eee fff
ggg hhh kkk
ppp mmm nnn

and file 2 like this:
Code:
aaa qqq www
ddd fff ggg
ggg sss zzz
ppp vvv yyy

and file 3 like this:
Code:
aaa 
ggg
ppp

I need to match the first column of file3 and file1, then add the rest of the file 1 to the file3. The result would be:
Code:
aaa bbb ccc
ggg hhh kkk
ppp mmm nnn

Then again match the first column and add the rest of the file2. The result would be:
Code:
aaa bbb ccc qqq www
ggg hhh kkk sss zzz
ppp mmm nnn vvv yyy

I've got many files and each of them has matching patterns in first column and then loads of columns that I need to all add into one file. Hope this is not too confusing :-)

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! It doesn't need to be a big loop or anything, I don't mind if someone could help me with the first step only...

Many thanks!

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
