Help With Assignment

[joe]

hi pplz
i wondering if anyoen out their can help me with a assignment that i have
to do.
below are some specifications'

Specify an input file name and an output file name on the Java command line,
both of which are the names of text files.

Columns in the input file are assumed to be delimited by a set of input delimiters
specified by the user, not the programmer. Note that the set may contain
more than one delimiter character. For example, the set of input delimiters
may be the tab and space characters.

Write the input file to the output file, converting input delimiters to a
user specified output delimiter, and converting all lowercase characters
to uppercase. For example, an output delimiter might be a comma.


Some source code ,comments or tips would help

thanks
joe

Suggestion: Start by writing a program that simply copies the input file to
the output file without modification. When that is working correctly, add
code to satisfy the other requirements. If you have specific questions,
don't hesitate to ask them here.
