Manually combining JSON index files

API
1

I have a bunch of index.json files that I wish to combine to product one index.json file containing all the context information. Is there an approved way to do this?
All advise welcome, and THANK YOU

Typically, a pre-process is performed in script like this.

WOW – thank you Bill, do you happen to have that same example in Python?

files=['my.json','files.json',...,'name.json']

def merge_JsonFiles(filename):
    result = list()
    for f1 in filename:
        with open(f1, 'r') as infile:
            result.extend(json.load(infile))

    with open('counseling3.json', 'w') as output_file:
        json.dump(result, output_file)

merge_JsonFiles(files)

Why thank you again Sir. I feel like a total idiot as for some reason I thought there would be some special way of doing this for OpenAI. I have learned something!

Well, there may be. Did you try this prompt?

Given the multiple JSON files included in the JSON context, merge them
into one file before doing (x).

JSON Context:
  {file1...}
  {file2...}
  {fileN...}
