Concatenate files
I have a file named "file1" which has the following data

Code:
10000
20000
30000

And I have a file named "file2" which has the following data

Code:
ABC
DEF
XYZ

My output should be

Code:
10000ABC
20000DEF
30000XYZ

How am I going to achieve this ? Any help would be really appreciated.. Thanks
