Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
lets assume the following details..

file 1 has below details
abc|1234|xyz
abc1|1234|xyz1
abc2|1234|xyz2

and file 2 has below details
pqr|124|lskd
ebwer|325|dfb
wf|234|sdb

I need out put [merged to a new file] shown below
abc|1234|xyz
pqr|124|lskd
abc1|1234|xyz1
ebwer|325|dfb
abc2|1234|xyz2
wf|234|sdb

Thanks
Hare

Let's assume you tell us what you tried so far.

I think he means a simple merge?

Code:

paste -d'\n' file1 file2>file3

Scott, i am using this way

#!/usr/bin/ksh
newfile="${1}"
newfile="${2}"
newfile="${3}"

if [ -z ${newfile} ]; then
echo "Usage: $(basename ${0}) NEWFILE FILES..."
exit 1
fi


for i in ${newfile1}; do
for j in ${newfile2}; do
for k in ${newfile3}; do
tail -n+2 ${i} >> ${newfile}
tail -n+2 ${j} >> ${newfile}
tail -n+2 ${k} >> ${newfile}
done
done
done

Thanks. Not so bad. Scrutinizer has given you a better solution though, I think.
