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.
