    Well, if a.txt is not new-line terminated, then what you get is what you got! What you need to do is either to fix up the file(s) so that they have a proper new-line (line-feed in Linux/Unix systems), or create an intermediate file that has such, and then do "cat a.txt nl.txt b.txt" where nl.txt is a file with JUST a new-line in it. That should work for you.

    I'd change my online handle, but DC Comics may complain about trademark infringement!
