NVM. I figured that part out. it may be a little sloppy but i just run the merged file through the below sed commands.
sed -E 's/\+\|\+-+//g' final | sed 's/||/|/g'
this alters the merged file from what i posted above to this
+---------------+--------------+--------------+
| Line...

+---------------+--------------+|+---------------+--------------+
| Line | Data || Data...
