need a program!! LOOK!!!!

Okay, I have a document filled with a lot of information, but i only need SOME of it.

Ok, the format of the whole document is this:

 *** **** ******  * *********** *********** ********   *

Code (markup):

the *'s being different info, i need a script, or program that would split each segement of the above into different txt documents, like the first "***" would go into txt1.txt, the "****" would go to txt2.txt, etc

PLEASE POST IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAN DO THIS, OR HAVE A QUESTION.

(btw the length of the *'s have no importance or relavence)

I can do it.

 

Would you do it for free? If so, afterwards I could tip via egold

 

I dont use egold so thats a no no.
A small amount would be nice.

 

Alright.....well make it and i gotta see that it works and we will work somethin out

 

I will do it for you give me a few minutes and i will post a link to the app.

 

I've written a python app to do it for you:

outputName = 'output'
input = open('test.txt')
for line in input:
	columnNum = 0
	for column in line.split(' '):
		columnNum += 1
		outputFile = open(outputName + str(columnNum) + '.txt', 'a')
		outputFile.write(column + '\n')
		outputFile.close()

Code (markup):

 

Ok bob.

And lephron, how do i run or compile this???

 

It's python code. Put it in a file called runme.py, and install python. Then click on it

 

what I can say it is very simple,
especially if you use perl or other like languages

 

Daiz - make a prog then please?

 

My offer still stands, I can make a stand alone application customized for your needs but not for free.

 

Look at the code - it is very simple.

input = open('test.txt')

Code (markup):

You need to put your input file in the same directory as the python script, and name it test.txt (or change that line of code to load a different file).

It'll then create files named output<col num>.txt in that directory too. So if you have got the text.txt file in the directory just double click the python file and all your output files will be created!
