As a Linux Command Line beginner, I have a pretty basic question.
How do a add a new line to an existing .txt file, that consists of a text string, a tab, and a value of another text file?
Precisely, I have a text file test1.txt that looks like this:
A B
and a test2.txt file that only contains the number value 100.
What I want to do is to use a command by which I would edit the test1.txt file, and make it look like this:
A B
C 100
I've tried using the following command:
echo -e "C t" test2.txt>>test1.txt.
I know that by using the command
test2.txt>>test1.txt
I will add a new row to test1.txt, with the value of 100, but what I'm trying to do is to add that value as a next column as I wish to make a table with data.
