A tool that can do this?

hey everyone,

say i have 2 files..
ONE TEXT FILE HAS THIS:

a
b
c
d
e
f
g

other FILE HAS THIS:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

and i want to merge it, so that its

a1
b2
c3
d4
e5
f6
g7

any ideas?

tried it.. keep getting space inbetween

(if i use excel and put in diff columns then paste into notepad_

It can also be done in MS Excel or Lotus 1-2-3 (IBM).

Assuming both files have the same number of lines..

Code:

$f1 = file( "file1" );

$f2 = file( "file2" );



$max = count( $f1_array );

$new = array();



for( $i = 0; $i = $max; $i++ ){



$new[] = $f1[$i] . $f2[$i] . "<br />\n";



}



print_r( $new );

PHP to the rescue

Code:

$file1 = @file("letters.txt");

$file2 = @file("numbers.txt");



for ($x=1;$x<count($file1);$x++) {

$output[] = $file1[x] . $file2[x];

}

My way is better ... lol

this code will work?

Yes, just upload the code above in a .php file and the text files in the same directory and it'll spit out the values concatenated.

No more so then you counting the array and writing it a variable.

Hah me too, the last time I even tried anything like that was as a kid on a Commodore 64, where it was poke this and goto that... I soon gave up but its fun watching the "discussions" between people that do understand it.

Hell.. don't even need a tool to do that. Just use a text editor (eg UltraEdit) in column mode and past the two columns into the one text file and delete all spaces.

1. error suppression sucks.
2. Count the array items FIRST, not within your for loop

well none of the codes posted here work.... unfortunately

Using the code posted earlier as a start:

Code:

<?php

// bring each file into an array

$f1 = file( "testfile1.txt" );

$f2 = file( "testfile2.txt" );



// get len of each array

$max = count( $f1 );

$chkmax= count($f2);



// use shorter array as maximum value to avoind errors

if($chkmax<$max){$max=$chkmax;}



// create a new array.  You could also open a file to write to instead

$new = array();

$fp=fopen('testfile3.txt','w');



// do the loop properly.

for( $i = 0; $i <= $max; $i++ ){

  // build the new array properly

  $new[$i] = trim($f1[$i]) . trim($f2[$i]) . "\n";

  echo $new[$i] . '<br>';

  // if you are writing to a new file you can do it here if you wanted

  // check to make sure the file opened before writing

  if ($fp)

  {

    // write to the file

    fwrite($fp,$new[$i]);

  }

}

  // Print out the rows of the array using print_r or

  // if you are writing to a new file you could do it here if you wanted to too

  // print_r($new);

if ($fp)

{

    // make sure to close the file if you are writing one 

   fclose($fp);

}



?>

That code doesn't actually dump the results, it just puts them into an array.

Excel: Put each list in two separate columns (A, B), then in column C use the formula

=concatenate(A1,B1)

Copy/paste the formula all the way down and you're done. (you can then copy/paste into notepad without the spaces).

---

OR

---

Notepad: if you copy/paste the two columns and end up with the spaces, like you mentioned, simple find & replace all instances of " " with "" and the spaces are gone.

---

People are making this way too difficult.

try modelperfect's advise on he concatenate...that shoudl certainly work.
