Reading a file and Classification

Hello Everyone,

I am new to UNIX. I have got a requirement. Thought of posting it in this forum so that someone might help me. Please have a look at the scenario.

The Objective is to "classify books into four seperate files and then print a summary report".

Specifications are as follows:-

The books records are stored in one csv file and the layout and the contents are contained in File 1.
There are four categories of books: sports, computing, children's and horror. We should determine the category and then write a series of 3 records to the appropiate file.
The files need to be created in the program and their names will be: children, horror, sports and computing. The format of four files is contained in File 2.

Records which do not belong to any of the above categories should be printed to the screen as an error.

The summary report should be displayed on the screen and will contain the following information:
- Date
- names of files created (including path name)
- total number of boks processed
- total value of books

File 1 - CSV File sample

Code:

ISBN, Title, Category, cost, NO of copies
978-0340681138, Five Get into TRouble (Famous Five), Enid Blyton, Childrens, 6, 3
978-0142301883, The Little Match Girl, Hans Christian Anderson, Childrens, 3, 2
978-0304921532, cell, Stephen King, Horror, 7, 1
978-0596100292, Unix in a Nutshell Scripting, Arnold Robbins, Computing, 17, 2

File 2 - Format of output files

Code:

ISBN: 978-0340681138
Author: Enid Blyton
Title: Five Get into Trouble (Famous Five)

Could anyone give me some idea about how to achieve this requirement as I am a bit new to programming. I would appreciate your help.

Regards,
Yarlagadda.

otest

otest(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  otest(1)

NAME

     otest -- SenTestingKit, OCUnit.

SYNOPSIS

     otest [-SenTest Self | All | None | <TestCaseClassName/testMethodName>] path

DESCRIPTION

     otest runs the unit tests found in the bundle given at path.

ARGUMENTS

     -SenTest value  This flag denotes the scope of the unit test to be run. Possible values are Self, All, None and <TestCaseClassName/test-
		     MethodName>. The default value is Self.

     path	     Path to the bundle that contains the unit tests.

OBJECTIVE-C GARBAGE COLLECTION
     otest is built with support for Objective-C garbage collection.  Due to the "whole process" nature of Objective-C garbage collection, invok-
     ing otest from the command line or an IDE or debugger will run otest with garbage collection enabled.  Doing so requires that the bundle con-
     taining the unit tests also be built with support for garbage collection.

     To avoid this requirement and disable garbage collection, run otest in an environment with the OBJC_DISABLE_GC environment variable set to
     YES.

ENVIRONMENT

     OBJC_DISABLE_GC  Set to YES to disable Objective-C garbage collection for otest when running test bundles that do not use it.

FILES

     /Developer/Tools/RunTargetUnitTests  A script that calls otest with the correct arguments for use with Xcode.
