Hi,

Even if you use paste to setup one single file of approximately 8Gb and given your example of the required output, I would calculate the following.

Twelve Characters per line and Sixty Six lines per page, assuming printing on A4 paper using standard spacing would give the following ;

Pages in the file = (1024x1024x1024x8)/(66*12) = 10,845,000 Pages.

If you have a printer capable of 20 Pages Per Minute then 540,000 Minutes or 9,000 hours or 376 Days.

Post the output from below and we can take it from there.

Code:

#> LINES=`wc -l ${filename} | awk '{ print $1 }'`
#>echo ${LINES} / 66 | bc

As to the how to do it, well.

Code:

[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# cat test_01.txt
abc
def
ghi
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# cat test_02.txt
123
456
789
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]#
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# paste test_01.txt test_02.txt > test_03.txt
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# cat test_03.txt
abc     123
def     456
ghi     789
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# paste -d "" test_01.txt test_02.txt > test_04.txt
[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]# cat test_04.txt
abc123
def456

[root@fbakirpomd4 ~]#

x2sys_merge

X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)					       Generic Mapping Tools						 X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)

NAME

       x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables

SYNOPSIS

       x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d

DESCRIPTION

       x2sys_merge  will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second
       file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one.  That is, it MUST NOT contain any new  two  tracks  intersections  (This
       point  is  NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had
       to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database.

       -A     Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base.

       -M     Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base.

OPTIONS

       No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.

       EXAMPLES
	      To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try

	      x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt
