MySQL Simple bash question - 2 files together
Hello Friends,

I have a simple problem but I can't seem to find a solution, perhaps you could gimme a hand here..

I have to files

1.txt which contains the following
00
01
02
03

and 2.txt which contains the following:
20
21
22
23

All I need is to concatenate these 2 files in to one but one field next to the other, so ideally the result file would look like this
00 20
01 21
02 22
03 23

I'm sure there's a very simple way of doing this, and I'd really appreciate your input in this.

Thanks so much!
