join cols from multi files into one file
Hi

Fields in Files 1,2,3,4 are pipe"|" separated.

Say I want to grep

col1 from File1
col3 from File2
col4 from File3

and print to File4 in the following order:

col3|col1|col4

what is the best way of doing this?

Thanks

This is untested, so it may have to be tweaked:
Code:
awk -F"|" '{print $1}' < File1 > tmp1
awk -F"|" '{print $3}' < File2 > tmp2
awk -F"|" '{print $4}' < File3 > tmp3

paste -d"|" tmp2 tmp1 tmp3 > File4
