Merging two text files, alternating order.

Comment:

Hi, I'm having trouble merging two text files. I need to merge them so that the lines alternate, eg. doc1line1 doc2line1 doc1line2 doc2line2 etc. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

assuming the 2 files are of same number of lines, and if you have Python on Windows f1=open("file1") f2=open("file2") for line in f1: print line.strip() print f2.readline().strip() f1.close() f2.close() output c:\test> more file1 file1 line1 file1 line2 file1 line3 c:\test> more file2 file2 line1 file2 line2 file2 line3 c:\test> python test.py file1 line1 file2 line1 file1 line2 file2 line2 file1 line3 file2 line3
