This program needs to support large text files (around a million lines at times). I believe Python would be the best language for this. Below I will explain what I need: [login to view URL] = A big file that has many random usernames Small example of [login to view URL]: SquirrelDan john3735 smalljohn 55john736 Randomu367 4384Robert robertbobby [login to view URL] = Certain names that I want to extract Small example of [login to view URL]: john squirrel [login to view URL] = Where the output goes It would search the file "[login to view URL]" for all the wanted names based on what I put into "[login to view URL]". THEN it would add a colon with the wanted name after it and then another with a "1" at the end. So based on the small examples above, it would search each line for "john" and "squirrel". The [login to view URL] would be: SquirrelDan:squirrel SquirrelDan:squirrel1 john3735:john john3735:john1 smalljohn:john smalljohn:john1 55john736:john 55john736:john1 So to explain again, it searches every line for the wanted names from "[login to view URL]" (NOT CASE SENSITIVE PLEASE), then it outputs it as I showed above, it will take the name from "[login to view URL]" then add a colon, then add the wanted name from "[login to view URL]" then do this again but add a "1" at the end. Needs to run on windows. Thank you! And please let me know any questions :)

Hi! You're asking for some basic Python text parsing and i'd love to do that for you. To make this run on massive files, they have just to be read line by line to prevent flooding the memory and Python can do this. Since i'm new here and looking for some good reviews, i can offer you the very fair price of 10$. I'll need one day to complete your project. Drop me a message if you like to have my assistance with this! Have a great day, Johannes Bergs

Can be done quite easily. If you want Python - then let it be Python. In general, it is OK to make it work with files of any size. Let's discuss in chat.

Hello. You have a very basic need here that can be done even by Python beginners. It is only slightly complicated by needing to track duplicates, but that is minor. when do you need it finished?
