set -e
history1=$1
history2=$2
merged=$3

echo "Merging history files: $history1 + $history2"

test ! -f $history1 && echo "File $history1 not found" && exit 1
test ! -f $history2 && echo "File $history2 not found" && exit 1

cat $history1 $history2 | awk -v date="WILL_NOT_APPEAR$(date +"%s")" '{if (sub(/\\$/,date)) printf "%s", $0; else print $0}' | LC_ALL=C sort -u | awk -v date="WILL_NOT_APPEAR$(date +"%s")" '{gsub('date',"\\\n"); print $0}' > $merged

echo "Merged to: $merged"

awk: towc: multibyte conversion failure on: '�`|:"' ()[]{}<>\t"'

builtin worked like a charm. Thanks
