I have a problem with my paths in tikz, as I try to show in the picture : 
By using my path as -| or |- I can obtain the two green paths, but I would like to have the red one, and neither |-| or || are defined.
Here is my code
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\tikzstyle{block4} = [rectangle, draw, fill=cyan!8, text width=6cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{through} = [rectangle, fill=white, text width=6cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{block5} = [rectangle, draw, fill=yellow!8, text width=6.5cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{block6} = [rectangle, draw, fill=green!8, text width=6cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\tikzstyle{block7} = [rectangle, draw, fill=blue!8, text width=6cm, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance = 2cm, auto]
\centering
% Place nodes
\node [block4] (Foyer)
{\emph{table foyer.foyer} \\
\begin{itemize}
\item sous-table par département
\item suppression doublons
\end{itemize}

{\emph{table pote.dep} \\
\begin{itemize}
\item choix anrev correct
\item doublons dirindic
\end{itemize}
};
\path (Foyer) -- (Pote) node[through, pos=.5,below=1cm] (Merge1)
{\textbf{Fusion par dirindik}
};
\node [block5, right of=Merge1, node distance=14cm] (Indrev)
{\emph{table foyer.indrev}

\node [block4, below of=Merge1, node distance=1.5cm] (FoyerPote)

\end{tikzpicture}

Indrev|-IRFoyer, then the next point isFoyerPote-|IndivPoteI think... – henry Oct 03 '14 at 14:08Second, the first instruction works, but not the other one, I am trying to figuer it out
– Anthony Martin Oct 03 '14 at 14:32Not yet sure I have figured why, but it does
– Anthony Martin Oct 03 '14 at 14:44texdoc tikz) and check out this line:\draw (1,0) coordinate (first point) -- (3,2) coordinate (second point);. So you now could write:\draw (ABC-|DEF) coordinate (myPointName);. You could make it a list as well, with line breaks for clarity. – henry Oct 03 '14 at 14:44
