murge

• name:
  murge
• synopsis:

  murge inputfile1 inputfile2 outputfile [-first={x | y}] [-second={x | y}] [-format=" format-string"] [-generate_title]

• description:
  Merges two data sets, in the sense of taking the abscissae and ordinates of the new data set from the abscissae and ordinates of two other data sets, as specified by the user. The strange spelling is to avoid confusion with the VAX/VMS MERGE utility.

• files:
  inputfile1 and inputfile2 are the two files to be merged. The first column of outputfile is a copy of one column of inputfile1, while the second column of outputfile is a copy of one column of inputfile2.
• options:

  first, second

  
  These options are used to specify which column to take from inputfile1 and inputfile2, respectively. By default, murge takes the y (ordinate) column from both files.

  format

  
  Specifies a C-style format string for printing the data to the output file.

  generate_title

  
  Requests that murge generate a title label for outputfile by scanning the relevant scale labels of the two input files.
