program to throw text into .csv file.

[kmfdm515]

I have ZERO programming experience...but I wanted to know how difficult it would be to make an exe that would go through a text file you have and grab certain parts out of it and create a new .csv file. There would be these 4 fields that would constantly appear in the txt file (among a lot of other junk):

cn:
mail:
givenName:
sn:

and they would appear over and over with different entries, like:

cn: Billy
mail: [email protected]
givenName: Bill
sn: Jones

So what I'm trying to do is have the exe grab every set of these 4 entries it finds in the text file and throw it in the csv under 4 columns.

Anyone interested in helping? I wouldn't mind throwing a few $ your way (is that allowed?)...it would be that helpful to me at work.

Thanks...

Not a problem, that's actually pretty easy. I did something similar for my job where I needed to get a copy of a long list of phone numbers and names into a CSV file for backup purposes.

Pm me and I'll send you my email address so you can send me the file and I'll get started.
