Dear Monks, I have the following problem: I have 400+ files with multiple lines in each file.Imagine something like the following:
File1
13
34
32
20
43

File2
22
15
27
33
48
65
34

File3
18
20
22
45
44
32
12
26

I want to be able to create a csv file, and put all data into columns, like an excel sheet.
Can you suggest how I should proceed? Am I thinking correct about an array of arrays? But how will I print the data afterwards? I would like to get something like:
File1	File2	File3
13	22	18
34	15	20
32	27	22
20	33	45
43	48	44
	65	32
	34	12
		26

Any tips?
