how to append the contents of filel to the contents of file2?.
i.e.
file1:
1
2
3
file2:
4
5
6
then the file2 shoud be
4
5
6
1
2
3
how can i achieve this..?
cat file1 >> file2
You are almost right
but as i tried it should be:
cat file2 >> file1
thanks
This will generate the following output
1
2
3
4
5
6
which is not the one u have mentioned in your first post.
The file1 >> file2 is generating
1
2
3
4
5
6
and file2 >> file is generating
4
5
6
1
2
3
which i asked in question.
The content of file2 should be appended with the content of file1
I think you are little confused.
But thanks, coz you solved my one assignment question.
Please see your first post carefully.
cat file1 >> file2 means
4
5
6
1
2
3
and cat file2 >> file1 means
1
2
3
4
5
6
if
file1:
1
2
3
file2:
4
5
6
then
cat file1 >> file2 is generating
1
2
3
4
5
6
and cat file2 >> file1 is generating
4
5
6
1
2
3
do u hv any doubt with these results..?
Have you tried to execute it shashwat? Or perhaps you have file1 and file2 reversed. Like R0h0n says, it really is the other way around..
$ cat file1
1
2
3
$ cat file2
4
5
6
$ cat file1 >> file2
$ cat file2
4
5
6
