Replace Contents from One file into another
Hi Friends,

I have two input files

cat input1

Code:
chr1 100 200
chr1 200 300
chr2 300 400

cat input2

Code:
chr1 hello monday 10 20 . - . sometext
chr1 hello monday 20 30 . - . sometext
chr2 hello monday 30 40 . - . sometext

Now, I want to replace $1, $4 and $5 of input2 with $1, $2 and $3 of input1.

So, my final output would be

Code:
chr1 hello monday 100 200 . - . sometext
chr1 hello monday 200 300 . - . sometext
chr2 hello monday 300 400 . - . sometext

---------- Post updated at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:50 AM ----------

Thanks all.

I found the answer.

Code:
paste input2 input1 | awk '{print .....}'

EXAMPLES

       Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code  segment  to	be
       executed:

WARNINGS

       always  returns	true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
       always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see

       machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Decisions should  be  based	on
       the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
