How to merge two files as alternative lines?












2














I know how to merge two tables to print alternative lines in a new file, but I want to merge every two lines from file1.txt with one line from file2.txt. As an example:



file1.txt is



A a aa
B b bb
C c cc
D d dd


and file2.txt is



E e ee 
F f ff


I want to have



A a aa
B b bb
E e ee
C c cc
D d dd
F f ff

Using GNU sed, you can read and insert one line from the second file after every other line ("two skip two") of the first:



$ sed '2~2R file2.txt' file1.txt
A a aa
B b bb
E e ee
C c cc
D d dd
F f ff




Slightly more long-winded implementation of the same in awk:



awk '{print} !(NR%2) {if ((getline < "file2.txt") > -1) print}' file1.txt

    You can use the paste command for this:



    % paste -d 'n' - - file2.txt < file1.txt
    A a aa
    B b bb
    E e ee
    C c cc
    D d dd
    F f ff


    paste, by default, takes lines from each input file, then merges them into a single line separated by tabs. Using -d 'n', we tell it to use newlines as the separator instead. - is standard input, which is redirected in from file1.txt (< file1.txt). So paste takes one line from standard input, then another line from standard input (effectively two lines from file1.txt, then a line from file2.txt and prints them out separated by newlines.

      @Negar, do you mean different number of columns or 'not matching number of lines'? And what action do you want in such cases (when the files do not match)?

    Original shellscript



    I thought the following script would do it. The trick is to open the two files on separate file descriptors (here #4 and #5).



    #!/bin/bash

    while read -r -u 4 line1 && read -r -u 4 line2 && read -r -u 5 line3
    do
    echo "$line1"
    echo "$line2"
    echo "$line3"
    done 4<file1.txt 5<file2.txt


    Test



    Make the script executable and run it,



    $ ./script 
    A a aa
    B b bb
    E e ee
    C c cc
    D d dd
    F f ff


    The original script stops, when reading to the end of file in one of the input files (so that only matching 2+1 lines are written to the output).



    Modified shellscript



    The following script will continue reading and writing until all the files have reached end of file (so that all available lines are written to the output). This should match what the OP wants.



    #!/bin/bash

    end1=false
    end2=false
    cont=true
    while $cont
    do
    read -r -u 4 line1
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
    echo "$line1"
    else
    end1=true
    fi

    read -r -u 4 line2
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
    echo "$line2"
    else
    end1=true
    fi

    read -r -u 5 line3
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
    echo "$line3"
    else
    end2=true
    fi

    if $end1 && $end2 # modify this line to change when to stop
    then
    cont=false
    fi
    done 4<file1.txt 5<file2.txt

                @ sudodus Assume file1 has 30 rows and file2 has 10 rows. Then I want tho have a file including 40 rows. I want to have the first 20 rows alternatively plus final 20 rows of file1

              • It works! thanks. but, If two files have different number of columns, it prints blanket lines. how can I solve it?

                @Negar, do you mean different number of columns or 'not matching number of lines'? And what action do you want in such cases (when the files do not match)?

              Original shellscript



              I thought the following script would do it. The trick is to open the two files on separate file descriptors (here #4 and #5).



              #!/bin/bash

              while read -r -u 4 line1 && read -r -u 4 line2 && read -r -u 5 line3
              do
              echo "$line1"
              echo "$line2"
              echo "$line3"
              done 4<file1.txt 5<file2.txt


              Test



              Make the script executable and run it,



              $ ./script 
              A a aa
              B b bb
              E e ee
              C c cc
              D d dd
              F f ff


              The original script stops, when reading to the end of file in one of the input files (so that only matching 2+1 lines are written to the output).



              Modified shellscript



              The following script will continue reading and writing until all the files have reached end of file (so that all available lines are written to the output). This should match what the OP wants.



              #!/bin/bash

              end1=false
              end2=false
              cont=true

              do
              read -r -u 4 line1
              if [ $? -eq 0 ]
              then
              echo "$line1"
              else
              end1=true
              fi

              read -r -u 4 line2
              if [ $? -eq 0 ]
              then
              echo "$line2"
              else
              end1=true
              fi

              read -r -u 5 line3
              if [ $? -eq 0 ]
              then
              echo "$line3"
              else
              end2=true
              fi

              if $end1 && $end2 # modify this line to change when to stop
              then
              cont=false
