Hi guys, I have to files I want to merge. They look as follows 

File1:
Adam 1 2 3 
Eve  4 5 6

File2:
Adam 4 5 6 
Eve 7 8 9

[download]

I want the output file to look like: 

Adam 1 2 3 4 5 6 
Eve  4 5 6 7 8 9

[download]

I know that you can add text to the end of each line of a file by using a command similar to:

perl -p -i.bak -w -e "BEGIN {@ARGV=<file.txt>} s/\z/text to add/g"

But is there a way to do something like the above using text from file2?

I know if you use unix you can use grep or paste or something like that but I want to do this in Windows.

Also, I know a way to do it with a script using hashes but I have a feeling there is a one line command that can do it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Victor
