File Transform Engine

This engine helps to change the record type of a file for example if you want to change a CSV file

ALFKI,Alfreds Futterkiste,Maria Anders ANATR,Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados,Ana Trujillo ANTON,Antonio Moreno Taquería,Antonio Moreno AROUT,Around the Horn,Thomas Hardy ...

to this fixed length format

ALFKI Alfreds Futterkiste Maria Anders ANATR Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados Ana Trujillo ANTON Antonio Moreno Taquería Antonio Moreno AROUT Around the Horn Thomas Hardy ...

You must define this two classes (see the TransformToRecord attribute):

[DelimitedRecord(",")] private class FromClass { public string CustomerId; public string CompanyName; public string CustomerName; [TransformToRecord(typeof(ToClass))] public ToClass Transform() { ToClass res = new ToClass(); res.CustomerId = CustomerId; res.CompanyName = CompanyName; res.CustomerName = CustomerName; return res; } } [FixedLengthRecord()] private class ToClass { [FieldFixedLength(10)] public string CustomerId; [FieldFixedLength(50)] public string CompanyName; [FieldFixedLength(60)] public string CustomerName; }

Finally the code to transform the file

FileTransformEngine link = new FileTransformEngine(typeof(FromClass), typeof(ToClass)); link.TransformFile1To2("source.txt", "dest.txt");

What more simple ??
