Hi,
I work as an IT project manager for an online retailer. A large part of my work involves manipulating data from various sources (CSV files, XML documents, plain text documents... ) to our advantage.
What you want to accomplish doesn't sound particularly difficult, and I can't imagine it would take more than a day to complete. However, without seeing some example data it is difficult to give an exact estimate for the work involved. So my bid is kind of "nominal" until I see some real data, but I can't imagine it would be more than $250.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and if possible, could you post some example data?
Thanks a lot,
John
