I will attempt to describe a setup that I think matches the wording you gave. I created three files: $ cat one 1 2 3 $ cat two a b c $ cat three x y z Then I can use something like this to merge those three files into a single listing with three columns, one entry from each file: $ join <(join <(cat -n one) <(cat -n two)) <(cat -n three) |\ sed 's/^[0-9]* *//' 1 a x 2 b y 3 c z There's probably other ways of doing it, as well. At any rate, your request is more of a usage question, and not an actual bug report. To avoid polluting the bug tracker with something that needs no further action in coreutils, I have marked this as not a bug. But you should still feel free to reply if you have further comments, or can provide more details about the real problem you are trying to solve. > > The information in this email may contain confidential material Unfortunately, it is now posted to a public archive, and this disclaimer is rendered unenforceable.
