Hours: Flexible Onsite: no Description: I have a small project that I think PERL would be great for, but I don't have the time to learn Perl and would be willing to pay an experienced programmer to do it for me. I have requested and received the entire voter registration data for the state of North Carolina. It unzips into 100 files( 1 for each county). Each file has between approx 10,000 to 450,000 records, each record has 87 tab-delimited fields. I am only interested in 31 of those fields. I would like to condense all 100 files into one .csv file or one .dbf file with only the 31 fields I need. There is a separate file that unzips into 100 files of a large number of records, but these records only contain 10 fields- voting history. I would like to collate those into one .csv file or .dbf file as well. I can either snail mail the CD with the data or email it. I am running for state-wide office on a shoe-string budget and this data would help me direct my campaign efforts wisely. If my politics matter to you, I am a for a smaller, less intrusive federal gonvernment and for preserving our individual rights, including the right to bear arms. Required skills: PERL scripting and experience working with large text and data files. Be advised that the files unzip to over 11 Gb, so you'll need a good bit of room on your hard drive to do this project.
