Description
I engaged a developer through Get A Coder a year or so ago and he developed my app just fine. But he’s no longer available so I need someone to take it over and develop it a little further. It’s written in Perl and I have the source code.
In summary this Windows app does the following:
• via FTP logs in to a remote site on a regular basis and scans a folder there for zip or csv files added since its last visit which match certain filename criteria; it then downloads this(these) new file(s). The files in question contain telephone call detail records.
• if no new file is detected it “sleeps” until it’s time to check again. The check cycle can be varied from 30 seconds to any number of minutes.
• The downloaded file(s) is(are) unzipped if necessary, combined if there is more than one, and one column of data is deleted
• The app filters the resulting file against another supplied text file retaining only those rows in which it finds matching entries (ie it identifies call records relating to specific phone numbers and deletes the rest of the file)
• The resulting file is then merged with (appended to) a similar file created earlier (if one exists). This is the “output file”.
• The app then checks the time of day against a “time to send” variable. If that time has been reached, the output file is (optionally zipped and optionally renamed with a timestamp element and) sent via email (or via FTP to a different password protected remote site); once this has been done various housekeeping is done. In particular the output file is emptied of all data ready for a new period (typically day but could be 4 hours) and the next “time to send” is calculated and stored
• if the “time to send” has not been reached, no action is taken and the app sleeps again until its next check cycle.
The app is flexible in that a number of parameters can be varied via the use of a setup file (contains info including the remote FTP folder address and login credentials, how often to scan it, the filename matching required, which column to delete, whether the file is zip or csv, and SMTP details) and a customer file (contains info including the email address or FTP details of where to send the extracted data, what is the “time to send” period, and the list of phone numbers to use in the filtering part of the process). The file that is sent to the customer can be zipped or not and its filename can contain a timestamp element or not.
I need the app to be tweaked as follows. The final bullet point above says “if the time to send has not been reached, no action is taken and the app sleeps again”. I need another option to be added here based on a new parameter accumulate (y or n). If Accumulate = y then every time a new file(or files) is (are) downloaded from the source site, and after any new filtered records have been extracted and appended to the acculumating output file, I want the output file to be sent even if “time to send” hasn’t been reached. However after the file is sent it isn’t to be emptied (unless “time to send” has been reached).
My old developer started this development but did not fully complete the work so it\'s got a few bugs.
if you can convince me that you have the skills to do this work at an acceptable price then I will send the source code for you to evaluate and will demonstrate the current app via skype after job is awarded. You need to speak good english. I will only engage with someone who is willing to communicate occasionally via skype as well as regularly by email.
