Hi! Thanks for answering so quickly.
The problem is that the outfile should contain three columns.
My first file contains two data columns, the second file one column.
Unfortunately cat only puts one file after the other and not next to
the other. Is there any other way?
Well, that's more than just a simple join. I doubt that any of the listed solutions provide that kind of functionality. I suggest you post a question in SOPW and provide some data format skeleton.
