  It's not too big.

  I am pasting it here.

   It reads a pipe delimeted file fetches some data and write it to another file.

  Following is the complete script

   
  eval '$'.$1.'$2;' while $ARGV[0] =~ /^([A-Za-z_0-9]+=)(.*)/ && shift;

  $[ = 1;                 # set array base to 1
  $, = ' ';               # set output field separator
  $\ = "\n";              # set output record separator

  $FS = '|';

  while (<>) {
      chomp; # strip record separator
      ($Fld1,$Fld2,$Fld3,$Fld4,$Fld5,$Fld6,$Fld7,$Fld8,$Fld9,$Fld10,$Fld11,$Fld12,$Fld13,$Fld14,$Fld15,$Fld16,$Fld17,$Fld18,$Fld19,$Fld20,$Fld21,$Fld22,$Fld23,$Fld24,$Fld25,$Fld26,$Fld27,$Fld28,$Fld29,$Fld30,$Fld31,$Fld32,$Fld33,$Fld34,$Fld35) = split('\|', $_, 9999);
      $S = $Fld2 . $FS . $Fld3 . $FS . $Fld4;
      $k = $Fld35 . $FS . $Fld15 . $FS . $Fld16 . $FS . $Fld33 . $FS . $Fld34 .  $FS . $Fld25;
      if (defined $neigh{$S}) {
   $neigh{$S} = $neigh{$S} . ',' . $k;
      }
      else {
   $neigh{$S} = $k;
      }
  }

  foreach $S (keys %neigh) {
      $n = (@a = split(/,/, $neigh{$S}, 9999));
      for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
   print $S . $FS . $i . $FS . $a[$i] . $FS;
      }
  }

  so, you mean we dont have anyspecific tool available which can do so. We will have to manually traslate it into C Sharp.

  While Blair's response is admirable (I was impressed), this forum is not really meant to outsource your own work. I would recommend you begin translating this code to C# yourself (which you might be paid to do), and you'll learn more along the way. If you have specific questions about the C# language, then ask away!

  public void PerlTransFile(string filename)

  {

  string outDelim = ",";

  char fs = '|';

  Hashtable neigh = new Hashtable();

  using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))

  {

  string line;

  while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)

  {

  string[] temp = line.Split(fs);

  neigh[string.Format("{1}{0}{2}{0}{3}", fs.ToString(), temp[1], temp[2], temp[3])] =

  string.Format("{1}{0}{2}{0}{3}{0}{4}{0}{5}{6}",

  fs.ToString(), temp[34], temp[14], temp[15], temp[32], temp[33], temp[24]);

  }

  foreach(string key in neigh.Keys)

  {

  string[] a = neigh[key].ToString().Split(',');

  for(i = 0 ; i < a.Length; i++)

  Console.WriteLine("{1}{0}{2}{0}{3}{0}", fs, key, i, a[ i ]);

  }

  }

  It looked like you were soliciting people to rewrite your perl code to C#. If your question was originally to find out if there was a tool that does it, I don't know personally, but others might. Have you searched the web (I have but nothing came up.)

  I think that trying to directly convert a perl script to a C# program is useless. You can of course try to convert some algorithms, but conversion of whole programs is too much for any computer (~programmer). The solutions in perl script may be done totally differently in C#.
  
  The Best Solution to this conversion is to just LEARN AND MASTER both Perl and C#, and then implement C# program that meets the original requirements set to the perl script. Do not try to copy the perl code to C# code, it won't work, at least at the higher levels.
  
  First understand the responsibilities of the perl script, and then study how the similar functionality is done in .NET. I can assure, that there are major differences.

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w simple tells the *NIX shell environment that this executable file is a perl script, and needs to be interpreted by /usr/bin/perl with -w (shows warnings).

  There's no need to convert it, as C# apps are .EXE files, and Windows already knows how to execute them.
