How is this problem dealt with normally?

As Snoopy wrote, you should make some sort of script.
You could possibly use something like this linux bash script, but python may be a faster choice:

Code:

#!/bin/bash mapfile -t source < $1 mapfile -t potfile < $2 for i in "${!source[@]}" do   for x in "${!potfile[@]}"   do       hash1=`echo "${source[$i]}" | cut -d":" -f2`       hash2=`echo "${potfile[$x]}" | cut -d":" -f1`       if [ "$hash1" == "$hash2" ]       then         if [ "$hash1" != "" ]         then             plain=`echo "${potfile[$x]}" | cut -d":" -f2-`             printf "${source[$i]}:$plain\n"             break         fi       fi   done done

This script would be executed like

./concat.sh sourcefile potfile > concat.txt
