What do you mean you should not type "paste"? Or that you should not use \\n? "paste" is the name of the command. You must type it. "\\n" is an option argument to paste that tells it to use a newline when merging the two files; it is crucial that it is used. You should enter the code exactly as posted: "paste -d\\n file1 file2 | awk....". If the data files aren't named file1 and file2, then change the filenames to point to the correct locations, but nothing else.

XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)
NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp or diff. If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported com-
pression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
