Appending 1st field in a file into 2nd field in another file
Hi,

I've internally searched through forums for about 2+ hours. Unfortunately, with no luck. Although I've found some cases close to mine below, but didn't help so much.

Actually, I'm in short with time. So I had to post my case. Hoping that you can help.

I have 2 files,

FILE1

23444,
12333,
55578,

FILE2
8
9
8

I want to

(a) append the filed in FILE2, into 2nf field of FILE1:

23444, 8
12333, 9
55578, 8

and in other run

(b) append the filed in FILE2, into FILE1 as follows:

23444,8
12333,9
55578,8

In ADDITION & generally, can you provide me with a solution that:
extracts the "Nth" field from FILE1 into the "Mth" filed in FILE2?

Waiting for your input, with my appreciation in advance.

BR,
Ahmed

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

mhc

mhc(5)								File Formats Manual							    mhc(5)

NAME

       mhc - Message Harmonized Calendaring system

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the mhc file format.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

FIELDS

       Mhc file format is based on STD11/RFC822: Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages.  In mhc file, the following extra  header
       fields are used.

       X-SC-Day:
	      Date of event in format yyyymmdd.  You can specify multiple date with space separated like:

		 X-SC-Day: 19990409 19990413

	      which means April 9th 1999 and April 13th 1999.

       X-SC-Time:
	      Time of event in format hh:mm-hh:mm or hh:mm.  For event which has no meanings about time, you can leave it empty in this field.

       X-SC-Duration:
	      Period  of event in yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd.  You can omit start date or end date, like "19991121-".  X-SC-Duration: is used only to limit
	      date specified by X-SC-Day: or X-SC-Cond, so you can't describe event date only by X-SC-Duration:.  If X-SC-Duration: is	empty,	it
	      means no limit.

       X-SC-Cond:
	      Condition of event date by using following keyword.

		 00-31 Day of month.

		 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Last Week in month.

		 Sun Mon ... Sat Day of week.

		 Jan Feb ... Dec Month

	      Examples,

		 X-SC-Cond: Tue Fri
			Every Tuesday and Friday.

		 X-SC-Cond: 31 Aug
			Every August 31th.

		 X-SC-Cond: 1st 3rd Fri
			Every 1st and 3rd Friday.

		 X-SC-Cond: Fri
		 X-SC-Day: !19990409
			Every Friday, but except April 9th 1999.

		 X-SC-Cond: Fri 13
			Every 13th and Every Friday, not 13th Friday.

       X-SC-Alarm:
	      Hint  for alarm of event.  Currently, mhc.el doesn't alaram, but gemcal will pop-up alarm window.  It will be useful if you transfer
	      this event to PalmOS.  In X-SC-Alarm:, you can specify the number (1 to 99) with suffix such as minute, hour or day.  For example,

		 X-SC-Alarm: 10 minutes
			Alarm 10 minutes before event.

		 X-SC-Alarm: 3 hour
			Alarm 3 hours before event.

		 X-SC-Alarm: 3 day
			Alarm 3 day before event.

       X-SC-Subject:
	      Subject of event. unstructured?

       X-SC-Location:
	      Location of event. unstructured?

       X-SC-Category
	      Category of event.  Any keyword, space separeated.  Case ignored.

       X-SC-Recoard-Id:
	      Internal use only.
