You could just do 

puts set.keys.join('|')

To have the value output you specified in you original post, is a little
more complicated.

Don't use pp for production use. Do your own formatting. Here's my
updated script:

,----[ sets.rb ]
| #!/usr/bin/env ruby
| 
| sets = Hash.new { | h, k | h[k] = [] } # hash that contains a new array
|                                        # for every new key
| %w(file1.txt file2).each do | filename |
|   File.open(filename) do | f |
|     names = f.gets.chop.split('|')
|     f.each do | line |
|       names.zip(line.chop.split('|')).each do | name, value |
|         sets[name] << value.to_i if value and value !~ /^\s*$/
|       end
|     end
|   end
| end
| 
| sets.values.each { | a | a.uniq! }
| 
| puts sets.keys.map { | k | '%8s ' % k }.join('|')
| 
| rows = sets.values.map { | a | a.size }.max
| 
| (1..rows).zip(*sets.values) do | row |
|   row.shift
|   puts row.map { | v | if v then '%8s ' % v else ' '*9 end }.join('|')
| end
`----

,----[ output ]
|    GAMMA |   OMEGA |   GREEK |    BETA |   ALPHA | EPSILON 
|        3 |       2 |       8 |       0 |       1 |       7 
|        6 |       5 |      11 |      15 |       4 |      12 
|          |       9 |         |         |         |      10 
|          |      13 |         |         |         |

If you don't understand the code, please ask.
