If you want to print files side by side, you have to print them at the same time.
Like you python script in your post#1 does.
In the shell the "read" command automatically chops the leading end trailing space.
You see that it reads a line from file1 into variable L1 and simultaneously a line from file2 into variable L2. (Using two descriptors/streams that are opened when the loop starts.)
The echo command prints L1 and L2 side by side.
How to print file1 first then print file2 beside it after file1 has finished printed?
Need shell script to read two file at same time and print output in single file
Example I have two files 1) file1.txt 2) file2.txt
File1.txt contains
Aaa
Bbb
Ccc
Ddd
Eee
Fff
File2.txt contains
Zzz
Yyy
