Join multiple tab-delimited files
Join multiple tab-delimited files
The Join multiple tab-delimited files app is used to merge files progressively into a single data table. Assumptions are made that a) identifier is always column 1 b) identifiers are all present across all data files c) the file is tab delimited with UNIX line endings. Launch the Join multiple tab-delimited files app and pick files in the order you wish them to be joined, left-to-right, and indicate how many lines of header are in the files.
