Improve this answer. Wouldn't this copy the rows in a common file instead of the columns? Kusalananda no, it's just concatenating the files. In this particular case, what the OP wants is: for each individual line of all input files, append the fields line to make one long line with all the columns, and then repeat the process for all subsequent lines.

This is hard to describe unambiguously in plain English - the algorithm in my perl script or the more memory-efficient algorithm described after it explains it better and is easier to follow.

This answer will duplicate the headers. Use head -n 1 file1. This will merge all the CSVs into one like this answer, but with only one set of headers at the top. Assumes that all CSVs share headers.

It provides highly optimized data structures and high-performing functions for working with data.

Pandas handle data from MB to 1GB quite efficiently and give an exuberant performance. Put all the csv files to combine into the same folder. Paste the following code into the powershell window that pops up and hit enter. I have a few csv files in a folder, I want to merge all of them using an apply function.

Step 1 — I tried first listing all the files from a folder. Step 2 — Save all csv files from the step 1 to the work directory using an apply function. This answer will duplicate the headers. Use head -n 1 file1.
