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!
