Data Selective case conversion of a file
Hi all,

I have a requirement to convert a file from one format to another.

Parent file:
Quote:
Sample: ABCdefgh
domain: when you think abcd@tester.com
domain: abcdefgh@tester2.com
Goods for purchase:234
domain: efgh@anyother.com
Sample: PQRST
Sample: nmjkl
Sample: 123jjkl Mer.
Goods for purchase: No ChaNGE
to

Quote:
Sample: abcdefgh
domain: when you think abcd
domain: abcdefgh
Goods for purchase:234
domain: efgh
Sample: pqrst
Sample: nmjkl
Sample: 123jjkl mer.
Goods for purchase: No ChaNGE
i.e.,
1.) all the lines which begin with "Sample:", should be converted in such a way that entire text after ":" gets converted into all-lower case.
2.) all the lines which begin with "domain:" get stripped off the text mentioned after "@" sign.


Please guide.

Thanks in advance Smilie
