Hello All,

I need some help on comma separated text files, changing them and
saving them.


I have got two text files.


The first file "ES_EF_AIG_20141440_105708_d.txt" has employee payment
record exactly like below:
"C0000000519","","","MR STEPHEN AGUTTER","10 COLCOKES
ROAD","BANSTEAD","SURREY","","","","","","SM7
2EW","MAL","AGUTTER","NS686159A","0000153363","CDN ","E","EMPLOYEE","29/10/2*001","","","","","","","","","AIG

EUROPE (UK) LTD","AIG CLAIMS
EXECUTIVE","","","","","","","","EEE","","GBR","GB R","","","SSS","23B","200*30601ES","01/06/2003","01/06/2006",355,+00000942525,0026550000,0000002108,0*002 5000,00000850000,034,000,0,0,0,,"",,"",,"",,"",,"" ,,"",,"",,"",,"",,"",,*"",,"",,"",,"",,"",,"",,"", ,"",,"",,"",0026550000,"",,,""



The main fields in this record for me a
1st field - "C0000000519"
54th field - 00025000
55th field - 00000850000
56th field - 034


The second file "ES_FE_AIG_20143416_142901_d.txt" is a payment file
with record exactly like below:
"C0000000519","","","NS686159A","0000153363","CDN" ,"E","EMPLOYEE","29/10/20*01","","","","","","","","AIG

8500.00",034,000,1208,10185844,"T",00001,"01/03/2006","ESPAY",001,034,"

250.00"," 0.00","","","","","CONTRIBSYS","
0.00000000",""


Once again the main fields in this record for me a
1st field - ("C0000000519")
50th field - " 250.00"


My task is to open the first file and, if there is a corresponding
record in the second file, then update the first file by removing one
payment and decrementing the total no. of payments by 1. In the above
example I want to basically change the 55th and 56th fields to
00000825000 and 033 respectively and save the file in the same format
(that is a csv text file).


I worked manually for the last two days on 60 files that are small
(with upto 20 records). Now there are exactly 60 files that have around

1000 records each.


Can someone please guide me in writing a code or please supply code for

the above. I tried opening both these files from Excel and then I am
haqving problems while saving them. I cannot tamper with the format of
the files as they need to be uploaded onto my system.


I hope I have explained the problem. The solution might be simple but I

am not getting it. Moreover I don't want to mess up the data. Therefore

please someone help me.


Hoping to get an early reply.


Thanks & Regards,
Prasad
