Merge tickets that start with same string

I have imported tickets from our previous ticket system into OTRS. Every single reply is its own ticket with one article right now. I need to merge these replies together into the tickets that they are about to complete the migration. Each ticket starts with a ticket number. Looking at the ticket number and merging every ticket that starts with that in the subject would do the trick. Before I start typing this: has anyone made a tool to achieve this before so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel?

Maybe search, checkbox and bulk actions may be useful.

Ok, fair. I have a thought about select id, TN, title from ticket [optional:where title like 'needle%'] and then use otrs.Console.pl to ticket merge. In excel, this could concatenate ticket numbers or id's in individual commands to copy paste to shell command line. Pick a single destination to merge to per criteria. I am not at a desk, but am writing to point toward an option. Test one to make sure the command line works as expected.
