- [Instructor] Hi, and welcome to the next video
of section four.
Merging Multiple Files as Columns.
In the previous video, we have learned how to compress
and decompress JavaScript.
In this video, we'll learn how to merge multiple files
as columns.
There are different cases when we need to concatenate
files by their columns.
We may need each file's content to appear
in separate columns.
Usually the Cat command concatenates in a line
or row-wise fashion.
Let's see how to do it.
Paste is the command that can be used
for column-wise concatenation.
The Paste command can be used with the following syntax.
Let's try an example as follows.
The default delimiter is Tab.
We can also explicitly specify the limiter
by using -d, for example.
Awesome.
We've successfully learned how to merge multiple files
as columns.
In the next video, we'll learn about printing the nth word
or column in a file or line.
