Tool to merge 3 CSS files

Merging huge CSS files is huge pain,

Hi i found some question asked on the same line. I tried some of the tools but they end up merging line by line rather than on the basis or CSS rules.开发者_运维知识库

Now i thought i should right one good program to do following,

1. read CSS file convert in XML

2. sort it on the basis of CSS rule

Now write one more program to consume 3 XML files find different classes and merge the files nicely based on CSS rules.

How ever that turned out to be good amount of work and i hope there must be someone who must have faced this problem before me and solved it clean way.

Please add your thoughts and suggestions, I would love to know the tool for this however i would also love to know how to design/code for this kind of tool? Am i thinking on right track ?

Thanks All,

There is a free tool called CSS Merge. Have you tried it?

Since order is important in CSS, it is difficult to merge files more sensibly than simply concatenating them. Certainly, this can't be done in the general case. In a specific case you might be able to produce a tool that can do it.
