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

NAME
SoMFShort - The SoMFShort class is a container for short integer values. This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers needs to store a group of multiple short integer values. SYNOPSIS

Public Member Functions virtual SoType getTypeId (void) const virtual void copyFrom (const SoField &field) const SoMFShort & operator= (const SoMFShort &field) virtual SbBool isSame (const SoField &field) const short operator[] (const int idx) const const short * getValues (const int start) const int find (short value, SbBool addifnotfound=FALSE) void setValues (const int start, const int num, const short *newvals) void set1Value (const int idx, short value) void setValue (short value) short operator= (short val) SbBool operator== (const SoMFShort &field) const SbBool operator!= (const SoMFShort &field) const short * startEditing (void) void finishEditing (void) void setValuesPointer (const int num, const short *userdata) void setValuesPointer (const int num, short *userdata) Static Public Member Functions static void * createInstance (void) static SoType getClassTypeId (void) static void initClass (void) Protected Member Functions virtual void deleteAllValues (void) virtual void copyValue (int to, int from) virtual int fieldSizeof (void) const virtual void * valuesPtr (void) virtual void setValuesPtr (void *ptr) virtual void allocValues (int num) Protected Attributes short * values Detailed Description The SoMFShort class is a container for short integer values. This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers needs to store a group of multiple short integer values. This field supports application data sharing through a setValuesPointer() method. See SoMField documentation for information on how to use this function. See also: SoSFShort Member Function Documentation SoType SoMFShort::getClassTypeId (void) [static] Returns a unique type identifier for this field class. See also: getTypeId(), SoType Reimplemented from SoMField. SoType SoMFShort::getTypeId (void) const [virtual] Returns the type identification instance which uniquely identifies the Coin field class the object belongs to. See also: getClassTypeId(), SoType Implements SoField. void SoMFShort::copyFrom (const SoField &f) [virtual] Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field. Implements SoField. SbBool SoMFShort::isSame (const SoField &f) const [virtual] Check for equal type and value(s). Implements SoField. void SoMFShort::deleteAllValues (void) [protected], [virtual] This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. Implements SoMField. void SoMFShort::copyValue (intto, intfrom) [protected], [virtual] This method is used for moving values around internally within a multivalue field. It needs to be overridden in each field so it automatically takes care of running copy contructors where necessary. Implements SoMField. const short* SoMFShort::getValues (const intstart) const [inline] Returns a pointer to the values array. void SoMFShort::initClass (void) [static] Internal method called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system. Reimplemented from SoMField. Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code. Version 3.1.3 Wed May 23 2012 SoMFShort(3)
