Thanks Rune, but that seems like something that's beyond my abilities right now...

Is there anyway I can make edits to my data files? E.g. within a loop, open each data file with read/write permissions, find and remove all metadata and comments? I know it's possible to fopen text files in read/write mode, but I don't know how to proceed from there...

I have ~200 data files, so opening them up in an editor and making changes myself is not an option...
