How to merge two text file together in RHEL system?

Hi again  Zion, in Linux system you will find a helpful command is given below.

Merge file together
# paste -d: test1.txt test2.txt  >  test3.txt

Here pest is a command that makes files together, first files content will take places top of the converted file and second files content will take places underneath the first files contents in the converted file.
