Hi,

Your original post wanted;

Quote:
My example: The first file on the left is already finished printing, then the second files prints next.
The the example that you gave seemed to want the first line of each file printed on the same line, followed by the second line from each file printed on the same line etc...

Whereas your latest request was for;

Quote:
How would I be able to get line 123 to to match up with every line to the left ex.
abc123
def123
ghi123 and so on?
The first line of the second file appended to the end of every line from the first file, before people can assist you you need to understand what you want.

You need to show us what you've tried and show us why it doesn't work by giving us a look at the expected output.

Regards

cat

CAT(1)							      General Commands Manual							    CAT(1)

NAME

       cat - catenate and print

SYNOPSIS

       cat [ -u ] [ -n ] [ -s ] [ -v ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Cat reads each file in sequence and displays it on the standard output.	Thus

       cat file

       displays the file on the standard output, and

       cat file1 file2 >file3

       concatenates the first two files and places the result on the third.

       If  no input file is given, or if the argument `-' is encountered, cat reads from the standard input file.  Output is buffered in the block
       size recommended by stat(2) unless the standard output is a terminal, when it is line buffered.	The -u option makes the output	completely
       unbuffered.

       The  -n	option	displays  the  output lines preceded by lines numbers, numbered sequentially from 1.  Specifying the -b option with the -n
       option omits the line numbers from blank lines.

       The -s option crushes out multiple adjacent empty lines so that the output is displayed single spaced.

       The -v option displays non-printing characters so that they are visible.  Control characters print like ^X for control-x; the delete  char-
       acter  (octal  0177)  prints as ^?.  Non-ascii characters (with the high bit set) are printed as M- (for meta) followed by the character of
       the low 7 bits.	A -e option may be given with the -v option, which displays a `$' character at the end of each line.   Specifying  the	-t
       option with the -v option displays tab characters as ^I.

SEE ALSO

       cp(1), ex(1), more(1), pr(1), tail(1)

BUGS

       Beware of `cat a b >a' and `cat a b >b', which destroy the input files before reading them.
