You can get a lazy sequence of all the lines in all the files by
something like:

(for [file out-files
      line (with-open [r (io/reader file)] (line-seq r))]
  line)

If "StatusJSONImpl" is on a separate line, you can throw in a :when
clause to filter them out:

(for [file out-files
      line (with-open [r (io/reader file)] (line-seq r))
      :when (not= line "StatusJSONImpl")]
  line)

If it's a line prefix, you can remove it in the body:

(for [file out-files
      line (with-open [r (io/reader file)] (line-seq r))]
  (string/replace line "StatusJSONImpl" ""))

This is all assuming io is an alias for clojure.java.io, string for
clojure.string, and that getting your files line by line is useful.



Re OutOfMemoryException: if all the allocated heap memory is really
not freeable, then there's nothing the JVM can do -- it's being asked
to allocate memory for a new object, and there's none available.
