I was thinking about writing the text files into a dictionary and
then
searching for each ID and then insert the content from file TWO into
where
the IDs match. But I am not sure how to start. Is there a more
pythony way
to go about doing this?
Thats exactly how I would do it provided the data volumes fitr in
memory,
otherwise the same technique but using a simple single table database
with SqlLite.
Depending on what you want to do with the data after merging a
database might even be the best solution since it will enable you
to perform complex queries/filters etc on the final data.
