Merging specifc lines of three files into one?
Recall that nc-county-pop.dat has 100 lines, and each line corresponds to a county. The files girls.dat and boys.dat each has 50 lines. Assume that the girls come from the first 50 counties and each county has only one girl. That is the first girl comes from the first county, the second girl comes from the second county, and so on. Similarly, assume that the boys come from the last 50 counties and each county has only one boy. That is the first boy comes from the $51 county, the second boy comes from the $52 county, and so on.

Produce a file that has two columns, where the first column is the name of the girl/boy and the second column is the name of the county. The order of the names of girls, boys, and county names must be in the same order of their occurrence in the corresponding data files.

1. I thought the first file would be something like

Code:
join -1 1 -2 1 -t "#" -o '2.1 1.1' girls.dat nc-county-pop.dat

unknown

UNKNOWN(1)						      General Commands Manual							UNKNOWN(1)

NAME

       unknown - identify possible genotypes for unknowns

SYNOPSIS

       A program to rapidly identify which genotypes are possible for individuals typed as unknowns in the input pedigree.

       unknown [ -cl ]

DESCRIPTION

       unknown infers possible genotypes and mating combinations for parents with unknown genotypes for ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1).

OPTIONS

       -c     Use conditional allele frequencies.

       -l     Choose a good set of loop breakers automatically.

RETURN VALUE

       0     Successful completion

ERRORS

       10    File not found
       255   Failure

EXAMPLES

       Normally, unknown(1) is run immediately prior to its sister programs, ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1), like this:

       unknown
       mlink

FILES

       unknown(1) reads the two files pedfile.dat and datafile.dat as its own input and produces various temporary files that are used as input to
       the next program. These temporary files are ipedfile.dat, upedfile.dat, speedfile.dat and newspeedfile.dat.

NOTES

       unknown(1) is part of the FASTLINK package, which is a re-implementation of the LINKAGE suite  of  computer  tools  that  help  investigate
       genetic linkage as first proposed G.M. Lathrop, J.M. Lalouel, C. Julier, and J. Ott.
