Basic Programmer needed for file handling

Hi, I have a small program that should be easy for someone versed in programming, I did graduate in '90 with a degree in programming but things have changed a little since then... and I was wondering if someone would help me out.... The project basicly is to convert data in a text file that is tab delimited... it has a range of 24 pieces of data per line and can have any range of lines from 1 to end of file... I need to read each subset of 24 items and on items 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,13,15,16,20,24 I need to take the data and add quotation marks around the data.... so... such as... a file that looked like: 1,hi,there,happy,fathers,day would look like "1","hi","there","happy","fathers","day" after the quotation marks were added I'd like to be able to specify the file name, have a convert, exit, and about button on the front screen, bring up files in a file box, select the file, convert it, and save it as the same file name but with the word converted added to it or something that identifies it as a converted file. Preferable language is some sort of public domain programming language in basic... and the ability to make execuatable files without relying on DLLs... I really like the look of Rapid-Q basic and I've been attempting this but - if you can do it quicker faster and correctly.... I'm willing to accept that. This project needs done asap... I'm under the gun and would really like some help. quick response around this 6/16/04 posting date would be greatly appreciated. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
