You really should spend a few minutes reviewing some of the Tutorials. I know your on a tight timeline but it will most definatley take longer if you don't know what your doing and no degree of advice will suffice. So unless someone is willing just to do the work for you, I'd suggest reading the following:

The Basics
Basic Input and Output
File Input and Output
String matching and Regular Expressions

I know this seems like alot to go through, but I'm sure you can get through it in less than an hour.

Then when you have enough understanding you can ask more specific questions that I'm certain the Monks here will be happy to help you with.
