Easy to do. Use a text editor and replace every other number (0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) in the last name file you want to change with "1." Then repeatedly replace "11" with "1" until every value is a "1."

Or read the file into a spreadsheet (like the free one that comes with OpenOffice) and change all the numerical values to "1."

There are many other ways to do it but these two will work just fine.
