Can you change the problem to make it easier to solve? Depending upon what you need to do with the end-product, can you change the reading application to use an index or other mechanism to indicate the set of files to read? Can you create a file-reader shim that aggregates the files on the fly whilst reading? Can you change the application that generates these files to append to a single file? Just trying to understand why you have to have exactly one file to work with, since that seems to be causing you difficulties.
