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.
