How to combine and sort two files using join?












0















NOTE: I posted this issue earlier, and got a response. However, for some reason, my computer now refuses to produce the desired file with the first command.



I have two large files that I want to somehow sort and combine into one file. I tried the following command without success.



join -j2 <(sort -k2 File1.txt) <(sort -k2 File2.txt) > jointext.txt



The tab-separated File1 looks like this:



VVP2U_05184_04282   o220
1RDD4_05032_01689 o132
VP2U_04029_05122 o216
1RDD4_03904_05227 o132


File2, delimited by white space, looks like this.



VVP2U_05184_04282,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;"
1RDD4_05032_01689,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;"
VVP2U_04029_05122,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;"
1RDD4_03904_05227,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;"


The desired final file should look like:



VVP2U_05184_04282,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;",o220
1RDD4_05032_01689,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;",o132
VVP2U_04029_05122,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;",o216
1RDD4_03904_05227,"root;cellular organisms;kingdom;phylum;class;",o132
