And, if someone is using a shell that doesn't accept $(<file), and file1.txt just contains one line, you could use:
Code:
IFS= read -r A < file1.txt; awk -v A="$A" '{print A,$0}' file.txt

or, entirely in awk:
Code:
awk 'FNR == NR {p = $0; next} {print p, $0 }' file1.txt file.txt

And, as always, if someone wants to try any of these awk scripts on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
