I need to generate an output text file based on the input text file
data
Input.txt contents:
('844 - Open File Message',
'011 - System Trace Audit Number: 823301',
'012 - Local Time: 033543',
'013 - Local Date: 0821',
'024 - Function
Code: 861')
etc/...
Output.txt contents:
( which has fixed length format of 142 bytes each line.)
11 00000000000030004 050908024536000674000000
13
23 0000000000003000400828000113105470509080245364247939
000000070824800000005090805008585147778978978050908050908
I'm strugglibng to see the correlation here. The second line does not
look like the same length as the first - unless the first is full of
spaces?
1. Parse the input file to get the value (bold) appears next to
string
"System Trace Audit Number2".
2. Replace the value (bold) with database equivalent eg.
369325=092222257UXT
3. Generate the output file as below where everything is constant
except
bold text which is databse equivalent of parsed value from input
file.
Tell us which step puzzles you and why.
We wilol try to help. At the moment we can't tell what exactly you
need help with?
