I am glad you were joking!  Try doing that with 10,000 output files. 
After the first 1,243 you probably get pretty good at it.

More seriously, about 12 years ago I used to do that kind of thing on a 
pentium PC using macros in WordPerfect 5.1.  It really was kinda neat. 
It could open a directory, take one file at a time, edit it (sometimes in 
very sophisticated ways), save it elsewhere, delete the original, go to 
the next file in the directory and repeat until done.

Now I use perl and I'm much, much happier.
