Utilities I Wrote

 

These are nothing special, and pretty specific in function, but that are handy for what they do.

 

Columns 1.0 for WIN32 and Solaris 8

Columns takes a file, and appends it to another file in a comma delimited format.  For example, if you have file a and file b, and you want the contents of file b to be combined with file a such that what is on line 1 of file a is combined with line 1 of file b, columns will do that.  Such as:

File a

File b

Stdout

Cat

Dog

Cat,Dog

Fish

Eel

Fish,Eel

Big

Small

Big,Small

 

Extra

 

Note that if file b is longer than file a, file b will be truncated.  You can redirect the output to another file if desired.  Also, it doesn.t care how long a line is or what it contains.  It only looks for newlines, carriage returns, and EOF.

Columns 1.0 is freeware, but I will always take donations!
