Merge two files line-by-line

[Josewr]

I have two files that I want to merge. Both have the same number of lines and I want to merge them line by line. The data is tab delimited and may contain floating points as well as Boolean. They may have over 100 lines each; but the files to be merged will always have the same number of lines. All the lines on each file will have the same number of elements.

FileA: Array( R,4)

64.758 34.54 6.1 15.7
65.758 24.33 10.4 3.64
...
75.758 25.4 13.68 12.9

FileB: Array (R, 7)
64.758 1 1 0 12 1 0
65.758 0 1 1 15 0 0
...
75.758 1 0 1 14 1 1

I would like to merge them into FileC: Array (R, 11)

64.758 34.54 6.1 15.7 64.758 1 1 0 12 1 0
65.758 24.33 10.4 3.64 65.758 0 1 1 15 0 0
...
75.758 25.4 13.68 12.9 75.758 1 0 1 14 1 1

I have seen several files on this forum for merging files, but the put one under the other, or merge data if it meets certain criteria. All I want to do is plain merge them
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, join did the trick.
That shows you how little I know about SUN commands. I have heard of them, but my mind was tuned to AWK or GAWK.

Thanks again.
