My code works OK in this very small example but when I use it with my actual files (I have uploaded 3 files named block1.txt, block2.txt and block3.txt) containing very long, one-line expressions, the code does not produce the expected result (I am also uploading my outputfile). The problem is that when the expressions in the input files are too long, the code does not place them in individual lines. Instead, it generates a extremely long, single-line expression which I cannot use afterwards. I need to make sure that each expression is placed in an individual line one after another following the input file number order. Thus, the expression in block 1 should be the first one followed by block2 so on and so forth.
Any help will be greatly appreciate it!
