Challenge Overview
This is a simple command line application that we will be using as part of our Price Component Suite.
The purpose of this application is to compare the difference of the current price feed with yesterday’s price feed, to see if new products have been added, deleted or changed.
As it will be a part of a suite we already have, we need the application to be called programmatically, and that’s why it is required to be a command line application.
When price files are received, a text file with current prices is kept for every country, and compared with the newest feed.
We already have a process that creates the “old text files” and with the “new text files” containing pricing data.
But now we require a tool to compare old text price files against new price files and report differences.
Parts of our suite is made in VBScript language (*.VBS files) and would like to continue that way, so we are requiring the command line tool to be developed in VBScript.
The target operating system is Windows XP, but should also run under Windows 7 32 and 64 bit.
