I copied column 7,8 and 9 from file 1 into columns 7,8 and 9 in file 2 producing a new file 3. the produced file (file 3) is not aligned as the original files, How can I edit it to preserve the alignment ?
I used the command:
awk '(getline line < "file 1") > -1 {split(line,a); $7 = a[7]; $8 = a[8]; $9= a[9]} 1' file 2 > file 3file 1:
