How can you efficiently add pairs of files together and then paste those pairs,
I have a climate computer at work which spits out temperatures and stuff out twice a day, one for the day-data and one for the night (basically). Every week I want to make a nice overview
The text files are something like this "[date] day.txt" and "[date] night.txt" x7
How would I nicely do this in one bashline?
so:
$cat 2010-08-30\ day.txt 2010-08-30\ night.txt
gives me one day, now paste for a whole week. Can this be done without for loops and such? I really have the feeling I'm overlooking a very simple solution here.
