Description:
I have 8 flate files that need to be parsed and organized. Each of the files are slightly different however they have common characteristics. Currently the files are grouped into a vertical structure and blocked together by user id. See the attached file Example1. Each grouping will have either UID or TESTNUMBER as the id and there may be multiple sections per user. These will need to be grouped together retaining data info if ther is any. In the attached file, the first two columns are concatanated to build what will utlimately by the column name. The attached file RESULT.TXT is an example of what the end result should look like. It contains only part of the first section data from the Example file. There are 8of these files and each one would need to be parsed in the same manor. This should be relatively simple to do programatically.



Deliverables:
1) Data Parsed and formatted as in the example. This may be in the form of a tab delimited text file or an Excel spreadsheet.

2) Source code for the tool created to do this so that I may validate the logic.

3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.



Platform:
Windows 2000 (Office 2000) or greater

Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Feb 26, 2003 EDT
Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5). If the buyer omitted a time, then the deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT on the indicated date.

Special Conditions / Other:

Additional Files:
This bid request includes IMPORTANT additional attached files. Please download and read fully before bidding.

Hello Slash
Just send me the files and i'll do it for you in one day.
Dont go for any higher bid..same work will be done in a far less amount. (i'll get only 10 bucks from these 13)
Of course you are not paying me before complete work :) so do not worry about accuracy..check everything before releasing funds when done.
Also..if you'll need the little application which i'll build for parsing these files.. I'll provide that too in 10 more bucks..
what else???
Please feel free to discuss with me if you have anything in mind..
Best Regards
