merge two tab delimited file with exact same number of rows in unix/linux
Hi
I have two tab delimited file with different number of columns but same number of rows. I need to combine these two files in such a way that row 1 in file 2 comes adjacent to row 1 in file 1.
For example:
The content of file1:
field1 field2 field3
a1 a2 a3
b1 b2 b3
c1 c2 c3
File 2 contents:
field4 field5 field6 field7
d4 d5 d6 d7
e4 e5 e6 e7
f4 f5 f6 f7
After combining these two files becomes (again a tab delimited file):
field1 field2 field3 field4 field5 field6 field7
a1 a2 a3 d4 d5 d6 d7
b1 b2 b3 e4 e5 e6 e7
c1 c2 c3 f4 f5 f6 f7
Thanks for your help.
Mary

xmtablistinserttabs
XmTabListInsertTabs(library call) XmTabListInsertTabs(library call)
NAME
XmTabListInsertTabs -- A convenience function that inserts tabs into a tab list
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmTabList XmTabListInsertTabs(
XmTabList oldlist,
XmTab *tabs,
Cardinal tab_count,
int position);
DESCRIPTION
XmTabListInsertTabs creates a new tab list that includes the tabs in oldlist. This function copies specified tabs to the tab list at the
given position. The first tab_count tabs of the tabs array are added to the tab list. If oldlist is NULL, XmTabListInsertTabs creates a new
tab list containing only the tabs specified.
oldlist Specifies the tab list to add the tabs to. The function deallocates oldlist after extracting the required information.
tabs Specifies a pointer to the tabs to be added to the tab list. It is the caller's responsibility to free the tabs in tabs by using
XmTabFree.
tab_count Specifies the number of tabs in tabs.
position Specifies the position of the first new tab in the tab list. A value of 0 (zero) makes the first new tab the first tab in the tab
list, a value of 1 makes it the second tab, and so on. If position is greater than the number of tabs in oldlist, then the tabs
will be inserted at the end. If position is negative, the count will be backwards from the end. A value of -1 makes the first new
tab the last tab, and so on.
RETURN
If tabs is NULL or tab_count is 0 (zero), this function returns oldlist. Otherwise, it returns a new tab list. The function allocates
space to hold the returned tab list. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the
allocated space by calling XmTabListFree.
