Print two file in NIX machines

 

To print two files side by side we can use pr command. This can be used on Unix\Linux provided that package is installed.

Print two files side by side :

atoorpu@Linux01:[~/tmp] $ pr -m -t t1.txt t2.txt
abcd                                abcd2
efgh                                efgh
ijkl                                  ijkl12
mnop                              mnop


 ADDING SOME SPACE TO T1 IT LOOKS LIKE THIS:

atoorpu@Linux01:[~/tmp] $ pr -m -t t1.txt t2.txt
AB CD                               abcd2
EF GH                               efgh
ij kl
mnop                                ijkl12
                                    mnop
