如何从不同的文本文件中复制字符串以在单独的列中并排显示到 Bash 中的第三个文件中

Question

Currently I have two txt files that have 200 lines of strings each. The second file is an updated version of the first, so I want to combine them in Bash into a third file, where each line shows first the original file's string, and then the updated file's string in a separate column. So it would be 200 lines of strings, with each line showing the original and updated versions in separate columns side by side. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Use paste like this

paste file1 file2

From man paste

Write lines consisting of the sequentially corresponding lines from each FILE, separated by TABs, to standard output.

Answer 2

Use Spreadsheets. It did the trick for me.
