SynopsisAdd new columns to a table. Syntaxdmpaste infile pastefile outfile [clobber] [verbose] Description`dmpaste' copies infile to outfile, pasting on extra columns from the pastefile, which may be a single file or a stack of files. Column names in the pastefile cannot duplicate names in the input file. All files must have the same number of rows. Analogous to the unix `paste' command. Example 1dmpaste "data1.fits[EVENTS]" "data2.fits[EVENTS][cols tg_r,tg_d]" data3.fits This pastes extra columns tg_r, tg_d from data2.fits onto the columns already present in data1.fits, making a new file data3.fits. Example 2dmpaste "data1.fits[EVENTS]" data2.fits data3.fits This pastes all the columns from data2.fits onto the data1.fits table. Example 3dmpaste "data1.fits[EVENTS][cols -pha]" "data2.fits[EVENTS][cols pha]" data3.fits Replace the pha column in data1.fits by the one in data2.fits. Parameters
Detailed Parameter DescriptionsParameter=infile (file required filetype=input)Input file name The input file used as the basis for the new file. The output file will contain all columns from the input file and the header from the input file. Parameter=pastefile (file required filetype=input)Input paste file list All the columns in pastefile will be pasted on to infile.
