You haven't provided enough information for someone to answer your
question. This is a text mailing list so if a .dat file is text then
you can paste here an example of what it would look like. What would
be in your input files and what would be in your output files? What
code have you already written?

If the file is large then don't paste its entire content here. Just
show an example of what the data would look like if it were a smaller
file (maybe just show the first few lines of the file).

Probably what you want to do is easily achieved with basic Python
commands so I would recommend to have a look at a tutorial. There are
some listed here:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers

Also the tutor mailing list is probably more appropriate for this
level of question:
