Combining files horizontally
I have 2 files, 1.txt and 2.txt which have the following format:

1.txt
:451:1
:451:0
:451:1
and so on..

2.txt
:108:13897187
:108:90890789
:108:76476386
and so on..

I want to combine the files horizontally, I tried paste 1.txt 2.txt as well as cat but both of them are giving me vertical outputs. Please help. Thanks.

The files should look like

:451:1:108:13897187
:451:0:108:90890789
:451:1:108:13897187

and so on..

I found the problem. It was not happening because of control M characters. Works fine now.
