paste command question

[Anne J. Blood]

Hi,

I'm using the paste command to make a .dat file aggregating multiple text 
files made using func2roi. Everything looks good in the .dat file (read in 
excel), except that the numbers from the first row are pasted into 
multiple rows above the rest of the data. 

Here is an example of the command used:

paste
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/010913JL/bold/tap_sil_6p6csm5/M6_lh_s6_0thresh/fmcsm5-all.txt
 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/blankrow.txt 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/blankrow.txt 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/021017SW/bold/tap_sil_6p6csm5/M6_lh_s6_0thresh/fmcsm5-all.txt
 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/blankrow.txt 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/blankrow.txt 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/021029JC/bold/tap_sil_6p6csm5/M6_lh_s6_0thresh/fmcsm5-all.txt
 
... > cort_timec_tap_lh_pats.dat

(The blankrow files hold spaces where I'll be pasting in percent signal 
change, etc., and there are many more files than I listed above--this is 
just an example).

The outcome can be seen in 
/space/meso/17/users/ablood/music_dystonia/cort_timec_tap_lh_pats.dat

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,
Anne Blood
