**What it does**

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

-----

**Example**

To join three files, based on the 4th column, and keeping the 7th,8th,9th columns:

**First file (AAA)**::

    chr4	888449	890171	FBtr0308778	0	+	266	1527	1722
    chr4	972167	979017	FBtr0310651	0	-	3944	6428	6850
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089229	0	-	3944	6428	6831
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089231	0	-	3944	6428	6831
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089233	0	-	3944	6428	6831
    chr4	995793	996435	FBtr0111046	0	+	7	166	642
    chr4	995793	997931	FBtr0111044	0	+	28	683	2138
    chr4	995793	997931	FBtr0111045	0	+	28	683	2138
    chr4	1034029	1047719	FBtr0089223	0	-	5293	13394	13690
    ...


**Second File (BBB)**::

    chr4	90286	134453	FBtr0309803	0	+	657	29084	44167
    chr4	251355	266499	FBtr0089116	0	+	56	1296	15144
    chr4	252050	266506	FBtr0308086	0	+	56	1296	14456
    chr4	252050	266506	FBtr0308087	0	+	56	1296	14456
    chr4	252053	266528	FBtr0300796	0	+	56	1296	14475
    chr4	252053	266528	FBtr0300800	0	+	56	1296	14475
    chr4	252055	266528	FBtr0300798	0	+	56	1296	14473
    chr4	252055	266528	FBtr0300799	0	+	56	1296	14473
    chr4	252541	266528	FBtr0300797	0	+	56	1296	13987
    ...

**Third file (CCC)**::

    chr4	972167	979017	FBtr0310651	0	-	9927	6738	6850
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089229	0	-	9927	6738	6831
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089231	0	-	9927	6738	6831
    chr4	972186	979017	FBtr0089233	0	-	9927	6738	6831
    chr4	995793	996435	FBtr0111046	0	+	5	304	642
    chr4	995793	997931	FBtr0111044	0	+	17	714	2138
    chr4	995793	997931	FBtr0111045	0	+	17	714	2138
    chr4	1034029	1047719	FBtr0089223	0	-	17646	13536	13690
    ...


**Joining** the files, using **key column 4**, **value columns 7,8,9** and a **header line**, will return::

    key           AAA__V7   AAA__V8   AAA__V9   BBB__V7    BBB__V8    BBB__V9    CCC__V7   CCC__V8   CCC__V9
