$20-100 USD

Paid on delivery
Program required to remove a section of text from a number of text or html files, which all contain a certain section of text that is to be removed and replace it with an alternative text or replace with nothing at all. This is similar to a search and replace program, except instead of searching for a particular string it will search for a starting string of characters, and having found that, will then search for an ending string of characters and consider all the text between them and the starting and ending string as well as the text which has to be replaced. Input for the program would be 1: target directory containing files to be stripped 2: starting string - up to 100 characters 3: ending string - up to 100 characters 4: replacement text - 0 to 200 characters The program should work recursively through any subdirectories of the target directory If the included file is used as an example the starting string would be "" NOTE: Unix type end of line characters would be ignored.

The find and replace text pattern application can be built in 4 to 6 hours. But again with all changes or modification requested by you it may take upto 2 days at the max. I got lot of experience in building this kind of apps. I grabbed a lot of projects from GetAFreeLancer and executed successfully. Please contact me immediately to get work done faster.

I am an expert in C++, a complete GUI and suitable software as desired can be developed with consistency and accuracy. The GUI developed in C++ looks as u feel working in Visual Basic,means u have text box for text to be replaced, text box for directory and subdirectories to be listed, buttons and proper mouse handling. I have an experience of last 4 years working in C++ on various projects as well as on text Strippers. I am also having the team of Visual Basic Programmers, What ever u feels good u can order me. I promise that i will never let ur hope down.

Already have the perfect solution for you. The Atlas Parser is a solution were you can set up different profiles to work on texts, files etc. It can replace text, remove, replace/remove between given sets of tags or strings etc. You can easily test your parser templates and watch the program do its stuff in a before > after windows in realtime. You will receive both working program and source in VB.

This is not technically difficult but still has to be tested and supported for a period to ensure there are no bugs. I test the applications I produce thoroughly and provide 30 days on-going support so if any problems come to light in UAT they are put right. I will also discuss the details of your requirements before I start so you get exactly what you want. This can be done equally well in VB and C++. I work with both but would normally use VB for something like this.

This should be easy with any program capable of handling regular expressions. Try the windows version of Unix's longtime friend 'sed'. If this does not do the job for you e.g. you need to be able to integrate it with another process or it has to be initiated automatically let me know! Should be able to wrap this up in a short space of time :-)

Although this is straighforward dataprocessing, I can think of a few things that could throw a curveball. I know this, since I already have an HTML parser written that is fully automated and has been working non-stop for 6 months now. I could slightly modify this to support a few different configurations. (.ini file, GUI editbox, commandline params) Not to mention my file routines are custom written and are 200% faster than standard file I/O routines. Windows apps coded in Delphi.
