I need a simple data manipulation application programmed. It can be programmed in PHP and run from the web (preferred) or it can be a desktop application.

If you know how to work with text files and CSV files then you should be able to do this project. Here is a description of the project:

The application interface will have the following input fields:

A.) Master text file:________ browse button
B.) Word in master text file to replace __________
C.) CSV data file:_________ browse button
D.) Folder to save output text files______ browse button

Detailed description of input fields:

A.) The master text file will be a text file with content in it. There will be a browse button to select this file on the users desktop.
B.) This will be a simple text field where the user can enter a word. When the script is run (detailed below) the word entered here will be replaced with the word in the CSV file.
C.) The CSV will have two columns. The first column will have the word that will replace the word listed in B.). The second column will have the name of the text file that the output should be saved to.
D.) This is the folder where the output will be saved to in the form of a text file. The name of the text file that the output should be saved to is described in the second column of the CSV file.

The Process of the Script:

1.) Look at row 1 and column 1 of the CSV data file
2.) Create a text file in the folder that was browsed in D.) above with the name specified in column 2 of the CSV data file
3.) Import the master text file to the text file
4.) Replace all instances of the word specified in B.) above with the word in column 1 of the CSV data file
5.) Repeat the process going to row 2 of the CSV data file
6.) Loop through all rows of the CSV data file

NOTE: If column 2 of the CSV file has the same name as a previous row (the text file already exists) then the script should append the new text output to the file.

If you can make this simple script for me, please send me a PM and let me know if you are going to make it as a PHP script or as a desktop application.

I’m looking forward to working with the winning bidder.

This is not for the basic multi upload script that requires users to click the upload button on each input field. If a user wants to upload 3 files, I DO want this to happen: The user clicks the browse button and highlights all three files that he wants, then clicks the upload button, which will upload them all.

The user should NOT have to click the browse button, click the upload/submit button to upload the first file, click the browse button again, click the upload/submit button to upload the 2nd file, then click the browse button again, and click the upload/submit button to upload the 3rd file.

This is for a PHP script. You can use whatever you think is necessary and compatible with PHP. But, you have to let me know what you’ll use before I select you, and you must stick with that once I select you.

No bios. No portfolios. No links, unless it’s to a script that does exactly what I want. If you don’t post the phrase not a bot in your bid and initial message in the PMB, if I do select you, I won’t review you because you can’t follow directions.

Escrow provided if you request it in your bid. If your bid is for Immediate delivery, you need to have the project completed and delivered to me within 20 minutes.

Demos and lower prices have priority. I will close the project in about 12 hours, but plan on selecting someone as soon as I see a bid that I like.

Thanks, and good luck.
