Field Stripper

Tabulates sequential, fixed length, undeliminated entries in a text file. This program is currently used in a hospital to convert reports generated by old software into a more usable form.

Example of use:

== Input file contents == Height: 132 Name: Steven Rose DOB: 14/12/1800 Height: 54 Name: Michelle Road DOB: 14/12/1945

== Configuration file == Height:,4 Name:,14 DOB:,12

== Output file contents == 132 Steven Rose 14/12/1800
54 Michelle Road 14/12/1945

TODO:

• Make user interface
• Clean up code
• Add additional output formats
• Allow used to specify a separator character instead of specifying each field length
• Give option to list column name in the output
• Create an installer (InnoSetup)
• Create help file / instructions / readme
