well i did this
cat ZZlinecount ZZcharcount > ZZline_char #make one file from two
awk '{printf $1 " "}' ZZline_char > ZZline_char1 #get the first column
and that WORKED
but when I cat this output with anther output, it puts them on the same line (I think because ZZline_char1 does not have an end of line)
I would like ZZline_char1 to have an end of line so that the think that i cat after this is on the next line
i am so close!
thanks for the help!!!
