I'll try and explain my thoughts at the time :
In fact, even considering your pipeline as a black box :
- I didn't have the output I expected (I wanted "AX" one the first line,
etc., but I had only "A" on the first line, etc.)
- as I saw one letter on each line on the console, I thought that it
needed a "join" to put two letters together, and that *you* didn't put
the "join" because it was an obvious ending and/or because you answered
quickly
- but playing with this pipeline gave strange outputs ... I didn't help
me, it puzzled me ...
- and unfortunately, I don't know how "synchronize", "juxtapose",
"instore" and "outstore" work.
I tried to read the docs about "synchronize" and "juxtapose", but gave
up (that's not the first time I give up on these two stages !).
The box didn't do what I wanted, I didn't understand its inside, and it
had a strange behaviour.
That's the moment when I'm calling for help !
Now I can play with your pipeline, and try to understand its stages.
Understand new things is always exciting !
(realize that I can't see what's in front of me is not ^^)
(by the way, one thing I didn't think of at the time, was to search for
occurences of "juxtapose" and its friends in the forum. I'll do that ...)
Thanks again for your help,
Michaël

Ehm ... Not so silly ! Congratulation.
That's exactly the situation.
Now I understand what's happening on the console and in my output file ...
Sorry I didn't notice the output file was 160 wide, shame on me ...
Using now "strip" after I read the files, my output is indeed correct.
Good. So now that it works, it makes sense that you understand why... ;-)
I thought my explanation should get you started, but tell me where I lost you.
Part of the trick is instore | dup | outstore Since you have
these small files handy, look at what it does (and compare with plain
"dup" for it)
