I have a couple of files containing a value in each line.
EDIT :
I figured out the answer to this question while in the midst of writing the post and didn’t realize I had posted it by mistake in its incomplete state.
I was trying to do:
paste -d ',' file1 file2 file 3 file 4 > file5.csv
and was getting a weird output. I later realized that was happening because some files had both a carriage return and a newline character at the end of the line while others had only the newline character. I got to always remember to pay attention to those things.
