An efficient way to merge 2 large CSS files

Question

I'm looking for a tool that allows you to merge 2 large CSS files. All the ones I've tried so far (like CSSMerge) haven't worked out. Some of them just randomly remove properties. Others choke on the non-standard properties like -webkit and -moz and give me errors. And I also need something that preserves the case of each rule. CSSMerge changed all rules to lower-case.

Answer 1

The YUI compressor http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/ can do that.

YUI Compressor is a build-process component written in Java that minifies your JavaScript and CSS.

Try SASS, you'll need ruby, but it's awesome for CSS generally. It will merge props though, as well as all it's other awesomeness.
