paste : Using paste you can merge lines of files.
example :
think that you have two text files example1.txt and example2.txt
in example1.txt which contents
admin@smartproteam~$cat example1.txt
the man
wat man
you the man
man the man
man says to ma:wq
in example2 test file
admin@msartproteam~$cat example2.txt
whazzz you
12
223
1
12
433
4433
now you will run paste command
admin@smartproteam~$paste example1.txt example2.txt
the man whazzz you
wat man 12
you the man 223
man the man 1
man says to ma:wq 12
433
4433
using
-d, –delimiters=LIST
reuse characters from LIST instead of TABs
-s, –serial
paste one file at a time instead of in parallel
admin@smartproteam~$paste -s -d:example1.txt example2.txt
whazzz you:12e223×1a12m433p4433
