Concatenate two files after a specific column

Hi

I have two files, one is 1.6 GB. I would like to add one extra column of information to the large file at a specific location. After its 2nd column.

For example:

File 1 has two columns more than 1000 rows like this

MM009987 1

File 2 looks like this

MM00098 MM00076 3 4 2 4 2 1 3 2 1 3 4 2 1 1 2 3 4 3 4 4 3 etc, etc,

I would like to add the 2nd column from File 1 to File 2 after its 2nd column

Thank you for any help on this! Image
