hi yuesko,

why use SED? many ways to do what you want...this for example:
cat one.txt >> three.txt|cat two.txt >> three.txt|cat three.txt

cheers!

Hi.

How would you like to "combine" them (what should the new file look like)?

Depending, cat, paste, awk, etc. could be better choices of command.

To concatenate them, why use:
Code:
$ sed !d file2 >> file1
$ cat file1
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
111
222
333
444

when
Code:
cat file2 >> file1

would do.
