Exactly...for this pass!

Ultimately, I will be creating headers/footers using the key data to break on.

Merging and Sorting segmented, delimited files

I have numerous segmented files that share a common key but beyond that are defined differently.

How can I merge these files and sort on the common key in the process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
