I second Daniel's recommendation of using Sqlite.  Just as easily as
you create output files 1+ and 1-, you can work with a sqlite databsae
file.  If you are worried that your database file may not be as easy
to read as using Notepad on 1+ and 1-, you can download the freeware
SQLiteDatabase Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/) - think
of it as the Notepad for Sqlite database files.
