Using this trivial code, I am trying to insert/paste the single column data of a file into the second column (field 2) of a multi-column text file.
Lets consider the single-column-file as 'f2' and multi-column file as 'f1'.
I know that the array a[FNR] is having the single column data of file f2 and I am just replacing $1 of file f1 with the first field of f1 + output-field-separator + a[FNR]. My question is, how does the other columns (after the 1st column of f1) get appended?
Hello all,
I have 2 files, the first (indexFile1) contains start offset and length for each record inside the second file. The second file can be very large, each actual record start offset and length is defined by the entry in indexFile1. Since there are no records separators wc-l returns 0 for... (1 Reply)

while ((getline < "file2") > 0) {
print "\t"$0
}
}' file1

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
