.txt File help. - Update - Nov 24, 2014
Hello everyone, Just had a quick question and didn't know if someone knew the answer.
I didn't really know where to put this thread so I dropped it here. Sorry if its in the wrong spot!
Im trying to make a .txt file in notepad, what im trying to do is be able to copy+pasta a massive list of lets say first names, then I want to be able to copy pasta a list of random last names from another .txt with a colon in the middle
Paste 1
Firstname:
Paste 2
Firstname: Last name.
I didn't know if this was possible and wanted to find out before I start putting in manually. Thanks!

so you have a list one has first name the other has last name? and want to paste both of them down and when you paste a : goes in-between. if thats what your saying I'm pretty sure you need to do it manually. i sought a string splitter would work

You could just write a program in C# that adds the two together.

This.
I suggest you to post this thread in the Coding and Programming section. Someone can code you a small application for that really quick.

Basically, someone will load both text files in two different arrays, then write to a new one, going through both arrays, one by one and formatting the output.
Simple as that.

Copy/pasta in Excel for each column. Export as txt file with Tab delimiter. There ya go, different columns in a text file, no need for programming if you're looking for a swift simple solution.
Can re-import in Excel as described here.
