If I run cat file1.txt, I have:


linux mint

ubuntu

cent-os

fedora

debian

kali linux

arch linux

kubuntu

open suse

deepin

parrot os

Then cat file2.txt gives:


linux mint

cent-os

fedora

kali linux

arch linux

kubuntu

open

deepin

parrot

ubuntu

debian

But what if I want to make output like this?


file1.txt                      file2.txt



linux mint                     linux mint

ubuntu                         cent-os

cent-os                        fedora

fedora                         kali linux

debian                         arch linux

kali linux                     kubuntu

arch linux                     open

kubuntu                        deepin

open suse                      parrot

deepin                         ubuntu

parrot os                      debian

pr will do what you want when used like so:


pr -mt file1.txt file2.txt


  • -m will print all files in parallel.

  • -t will omit page headers and trailers.


Example output:


linux mint              linux mint

ubuntu                  cent-os

cent-os                 fedora

fedora                  kali linux

debian                  arch linux

kali linux              kubuntu

arch linux              open

kubuntu                 deepin

open suse               parrot

deepin                  ubuntu

parrot os               debian
