Hi all,
Hopefully there is a way to do this...
I have 2 unix flat files that I want to merge into 1 file. I know that I can
do something like "cat file1 file2 | sort -o newfile". The problem is that
once I have newfile loaded, I need to know where each line in newfile came
from. I am hoping that unix has something similar to the REUSE() function so I
can prefix each line with the filename. Here is an example of what I would
like to get done.
before...
/sws/scott/temp: pg file1
line1 line1 line1 line1 line1
line2 line2 line2 line2 line2
line3 line3 line3 line3 line3
/sws/scott/temp: pg file2
line1 line1 line1 line1 line1
line2 line2 line2 line2 line2
line3 line3 line3 line3 line3
after...
/sws/scott/temp: pg newfile
file1*line1 line1 line1 line1 line1
file2*line1 line1 line1 line1 line1
file1*line2 line2 line2 line2 line2
file2*line2 line2 line2 line2 line2
file1*line3 line3 line3 line3 line3
file2*line3 line3 line3 line3 line3
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.
Scott Thompson
