OSX paste command not pasting whole line

Question

I am trying to paste two files together

file ip.txt

10.32.216.15
10.23.134.8
10.33.2.37
10.33.84.20
10.33.17.38

file obj.txt

obj-10.32.216.15
obj-10.23.134.8
obj-10.33.2.37
obj-10.33.84.20
obj-10.33.17.38

and I use the command like this:

paste ip.txt obj.txt

However I get this truncated output:

10.32.21obj-10.32.216.15
10.23.13obj-10.23.134.8
10.33.2.obj-10.33.2.37
10.33.84obj-10.33.84.20
10.33.17obj-10.33.17.38

The two files are created by grep command in my script earlier. This behavior is also present when I used variables with the command. Also when I try to specify a delimiter only the second file gets pasted. Does anyone know what might be the issue? Thanks

@Nobody columns from ip.txt on the left and columns from obj.txt on the right, but I have already found the issue - it was line endings — Jesse_Pinkman, Mar 11 '21 at 13:41

The issue was with line endings, for some reason Windows were set up but Unix were needed.
