Hi.

It's better to state your OS, shell, etc. upfront rather than as an afterthought.

On my system:
Code:
% ksh
$ paste -d'\n' <( ls -1 l*.txt ) <( ls -1 f*.arch )
liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2_R20120314.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2.R20120314.arch
liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1_R20120321.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1.R20120321.arch
liste_VITRINE_PSY4V1R3_R20120321.txt
flag.VITRINE_PSY4V1R3.R20120321.arch

For:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) 
ksh 93s+

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Hi.

This is a more complete listing, closer to your environment:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh

# @(#) s4       Demonstrate paste used as a shuffle mechanism.

pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && . $C paste

FILE1=${1-data1}
FILE2=${2-data2}

pl " Input filenames:"
ls -1 f*.arch l*.txt

pl " Results, paste (as a kind of shuffle):"
paste -d'\n' <( ls -1 l*.txt ) <( ls -1 f*.arch )

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s4

Environment: LC_ALL = POSIX, LANG = POSIX
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: SunOS, 5.10, i86pc
Distribution        : Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
ksh M-11/16/88i
