Well, it mean admitting defeat on solving the problem in python. Yes
in practical terms, I should probably preprocess the data, but as a
programming exercise, learning how to sort a number of files into one
is something I'd like to crack.
Maybe the real lesson here is knowing which battles to fight, and a
good developer uses the right tools for the job.
