Assuming your system will allow 100 concurrent file descriptors to be open at the same time:
Should work.
Per your description 3.txt will contain columns 1,2 and 3; 4.txt will contain 1,2 and 4. There will not be 1.txt nor 2.txt as you indicated you want n.txt where n is the column in addition to 1 and 2. I hope I interpreted that correctly.

If your system will not allow 100 concurrently open FDs, then the code below should work -- not as efficient, and you will need to delete all text files if you need to rerun the programme.
