**What it does**

This tool joins two tabular files based on a common key column.

-----

**Example**

**First file**::

    Fruit	Color
    Apple	red
    Banana	yellow
    Orange	orange
    Melon	green

**Second File**::

    Fruit	Price
    Orange	7
    Avocado	8
    Apple	4
    Banana	3

**Joining** both files, using **key column 1** and a **header line**, will return::

    Fruit	Color	Price
    Apple	red	4
    Avocado	.	8
    Banana	yellow	3
    Melon	green	.
    Orange	orange	7

# Input files need not be sorted.
# The header line (**Fruit  Color  Price**) was joined and kept as first line.
# Missing values ( Avocado's color, missing from the first file ) are replaced with a period character.
