dear monks. I need to open 200 csv files and grab 3rd column in each file. I would like to write all 200 columns to a file for analysis. 
datafile1:
1 has 0.334
2 has 0.986
3 has 0.787
....
948

datafile2:
1 has 0.894
2 has 0.586
3 has 0.187
....
948

there are 200 such files.

my output should look like 
output:
1 has 0.334 0.894  .......... 200 columns
2 has 0.986 0.586  ...........200 columns
3 has 0.787 0.187  ............200 columns
....
948
