How many files do you have? It might be easier to just combine them into one file, open with a text editor capable of doing regex matching / substitution, and do the two or three operations necessary.

Not many files, but each file contains thousands of entries (file size >35,936 KB). In fact, just opening the file in my text editor and it starts to slow down. Thanks for the idea though.
