Hi, we are looking to hire someone to manipulate already existing data files (will be given web link) that are in a standard .txt file format with numeric and text entries to a format used for computing. 1) We would like you to start with taking 100 of the entries (randomly selected with random number generator) in one of the 30 files we will give you. 2) We would like you to transform these 100 entries into a matrix in .csv form based on pre-specified categories given by us. Two of the columns are word and word count. Another is entry ID. 3) We also would like a sparse representation of the two columns of word and word count where there is a new matrix (rows are entry #, columns are word label - filled with the count) and that depends on size of file. We can talk about this. 4) The deliverable should be in manageable csv file sizes, which won't be a problem for this data... But, we will definitely have more work if this is done successfully (over all files and more entries needed), so scalable routines are highly encouraged. Thinking about a million entries with a higher budget, if this goes well. Thank you very much.

Greetings, I'm professional software developer with 15+ years of experience in similiar tasks. I will produce a standalone exe (no dependecies) that will take as input given txt file (it could be downloaded automatically from web if needed), perform needed transformation and produce output file. I'm expert in multythreading and fast processing so I can optimize this process to be as fast as possible (even for large files). I would like to see samples of input and output files and have more details about transformation, so I could better estimate time needed and a price.
