Thanks both for your solutions. Era, your solution takes a little long though... for my data it'd take a little less than 11 years based on a sample run I did (In my actual data set it has 22 commas in the first line of each set, so had to adjust yours according).

Thanks for the breaking it down too, arvonius!

I've learned a lot from both of these, thanks.
