The variation posted by Chubler_XL does work. I will test the other suggestions tomorrow.
I am looking at the possibility that I will need to modify this. At the moment, the code prints columns from the first file up to $FILE1_VALUE and then adds columns from the second file starting with $FILE2_VALUE and adding all the columns to the end of file 2.
It may be better for me to specify a range of columns for file 2, meaning it may not be all the columns to the end of the file. Something like,
This would be columns up to E199 from the first file and E200-E273 from the second file. Would this be a difficult modification?
I can't see from Chubler_XL's code how it determines how many column to add from file 2.
I can post complete test files if that would help.
