Dear all, I have ~ 50 tar gzipped files and they have thousands of files with .dta and .out extensions. These files are from mass spectrometer runs.

I have another program that combines all the .dta files in to one large combined program.
Until now what I am doing is - taking one tar gzipped file, unzipping and untar it in to a directory. Then using the small program that combines all the .dta files in to one single .dta file. After this I am cleaning all small .dta and .out files.

Doing this for each tar gzipped file is pain in the neck. Is it easy to write a small python program? How should I write. Please can you provide some help.

Thank you

SP
