I have two text files that have these structures:
File 1
Column1:Column2
Column1:Column2
...
File 2
Column3
Column3
...
I would like to create a file that has this file structure:
Column1:Column3
Column1:Column3
...
Open to any suggestions, but it would be nice if the solution can be done from a Bash shell, or sed / awk / perl / etc…
This cuts field 1 from File 1 (delimited by a colon) and pastes it with the only column in File 2, separating the output fields with a colon.
