Hi ,

I have a requirement and need to get the output using ICETOOL.Can somebody help me.

Input file1.
-----------

aaabbb
cccddd
eeekkk
ggghhh

inputfile2:
-----------
111222
333444
555666
777888

Expected Output:

aaa 111
ccc 333
eee 555
ggg 777

Note: No of records in file1 is equal to no of records in file2. Requirement is to take first 3 byte from input file1 and 1 space and 3 bytes from input file2 and write into output file. FYI, There is no key field. We need to club the first record of file1 with 1st record of file2 and so on..
