Since your code_to_value.txt file only contains 17 characters per line (not counting the terminating <newline> character), the cut calls creating the files value_1 and value_2 always produce empty files. So, even if the calls to paste work, the files code_1, code_2, and code_3 will also always be empty files.
When I run your code on OS X, I get errors from all of your invocations of paste instead of errors from sed. Bur rather than invoking cat nine times, cut, grep, and paste twelve times, and sed four times; the following script using a single invocation of awk seems to do what you said you wanted done (without using the file list.txt).
With your sample code_to_value.txt and table_values.txt input files, it produces the output:
rather than the output you said you wanted:
If I understand your requirements correctly, I believe the output shown in red in the output you said you were trying to get is inconsistent with your requirements.
Note that if you input files have Windows <carriage-return><line-feed> line terminators instead of UNIX and Linux <newline> line terminators, you'll need to change the line:
in the above script to something like:
to get rid of the extraneous <carriage-return> characters.
I hope this helps.

I always kind of wondered this but I have a variable that I want to use in a search and replace. Basically I want to search a file for the string in my variable and replace it with something fixed but I'm unsure of the variable rule in sed. Here's generally what I have:

I know that I want to entirely replace line 3 in my file filename.txt. I have tried all sorts of variations of
sed 3,3,c\replacement stuff\ filename.txt with no success.
about the only thing that causes any reaction is
sed 3,3c\\ filename.txt
but it just prints out the whole file.
