| The solution is to merge the 2nd column of two files base on the value of 1st column, and do a sort operation at last. Detailed procedures: 1. join the two txt files into one file, with one blank line between two files: A x B x C x D x E x F x G x <here is one blank line> A x B x D x F x H x J x C x 2. ctrl-o open the text file prepared in step 1. 3. ctrl-h open 'replace' dialog * set 'Replace Unit' to 'Line' * set 'Replace Scope' to 'Paragraph' ** click "Advanced" page * set "Run following at the beginning of replace" to: * set "Run following for each matched unit" to: * set "Insert End Text" to: 4. Click "Replace", done! |
