For Example: I have two files
input.txt
one two three four five output.txt
1 2 3 4 5 I want to merge these two files and to get another output file (e.g, match.txt) like this,
one 1 two 2 three 3 ... Moreover, when I shuffle these two .txt files randomly, the output file (match.txt) will also merge the correct data like that...
three 3 two 2 five 5 ... How can I write shell script?
Simply with paste command:
paste -d' ' input.txt output.txt > match.txt The match.txt content:
one 1 two 2 three 3 four 4 five 5 With shuffling (via sort command):
paste -d' ' input.txt output.txt | sort -R An exemplary output:
two 2 four 4 one 1 three 3 five 5 
two 2. Is a nice exercise. {"one": 1, "two": 2, ...}. That's not the case. And what if the input list contains the items from one to ninety? What would be your answer for such nice exercise? one with 1. Sorry, i didn't want to be frustrating - it just sounded a nice exercise to match one with 1 $ cat input.txt five one three two four $ awk 'BEGIN{a["one"]=1;a["two"]=2;a["three"]=3;a["four"]=4;a["five"]=5}$0 in a{print $0,a[$0]}' input.txt five 5 one 1 three 3 two 2 four 4
oneto be following by the number1, and in the output file, the order is based on the words? Or are they examples of other possible values in some way, in which case, it needs more detail.
