Be aware that only the CSV format is guaranteed to have all records. At least that’s what some files say.

$ sed ‘s#,.*##g’ *.csv | sort | uniq | wc -l
817159

sed ‘s#,.*##g’ *.csv | sort | uniq -c | sort -h | tail
grep -h ‘^PLATENUMBER,’ *.csv | sed ‘s#,”(#,#g’ | sed ‘s#)”##’
grep -hEo “\(37.*\)\”” *.csv | sed ‘s#[()” ]*##g’

Happy stalking :(
