A program that automatically imports information, manipulates, then publishes to FTP

I need an application written that will automatically take in data from local temp files at specific times of the day, aggregate and compile that data, and push the results to FTP. I do not believe a UI will be necessary. Once functional, this will be a "behind-the-scenes" program that should run on it's own. At a high level, this is what we are trying to accomplish. We have several distributors and vendors who publish their warehouse product inventory information on a daily basis. We want to take all of this information and put it into a single location. Many distributors will carry the same products, and we also carry inventory, so we want to combine these collective inventory levels to produce a "total available inventory" file that can serve our various POS and eCommerce solutions. File sizes can run quite large (>100k line items), and come in CSV or fixed-width format.

I have +10 years of experience in programming. I am expert in such scripting tasks. Collecting these files, making single total inventory and uploading on a ftp server, is a very simple task for me and can be done in 1 day! Can not believe? Let's have a try:) Thanks, Helmot

I am very proficient in c, c++. I have 15 years c++ developing experience now, and I have worked for 5 years. My work is online game developing, and mainly focus on server side, the language is c++ under linux. I used c++ to make many great projects, for example, I made the tools which can convert java files to c++ scripts which has the same effect, of course garbage collection included. I also made our own mobile game using c++, I even can show you the demo of client. Trust me, please let expert help you.

The thing that you are asking for is not easy. I have done something similar which makes it possible for me to do it. Let us discuss this. I have created a security software worth $2,500 project. In which we monitor the system activities. The same logic is going to be used here. I need 10% if you decide to give me the project as this 10

Thank you for interesting project posting, one more question: If I understand it correctly before FTP-uploading different files (from different distributors but in common folder) should be aggregated. Do you have developed aggregation rules? I mean: how to handle probable duplicate lines? Anyway accordind to your aggregation rules I will develope Windows service which will work in background and write log files so you will be able to review what and when was done, probable connection errors also will be loged. Open for any suggestions. Best,Alex

I am brand-new to Freelancer. I attempted to place this bid but got bumped off before I finished (just in case you get a duplicate bid from me). I would use perl for your described task. It has a rich pattern matching engine and is built for efficiently parsing text files and splitting them up into columns, summarizing, etc. I have been using perl since 1988. I would nail this project. I would use a DB file-derived database format for temporary database storage if the memory on the machine is insufficient for the size of the files. Ideally this would be designed to run on a linux/unix-based machine which lends itself to the "behind-the-scenes" functionality you describe. Questions: Is there a linux/unix machine (other than the windows 7 machine) available to do the parsing/aggregating? If so, the result could run on the unix-based box and be moved to the windows machine afterward. I would think an improved long-term solution would be incorporating all the data into a central database (i.e., MySQL), which is what you would essentially be constructing by combining all your log/data files together. I will do this project on the cheap because I am new and wish to get some completed bids under my belt. I would need a linux/unix machine to do this project for this amount, however. I could also design a MySQL database and automate the insertion of your data, but that is a completely different project. Thanks. Let me know... -Michael
