Question : need a script to convert csv to txt

I need a simple script (php) or small app or macro, that will convert a csv file into txt files.. 1 text file per row.

The script/app will need to do the following..

1. Able to select the delimiter I mainly use comma,pipe,tab,semicolon

2. able to enter a template for the output.. Example

%11%

%11% - $%14%

%7%

Where the numbers are based on the column numbers..

The output file names will be completely random.. such fhshTrtd55.txt

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
akiles

Answer : need a script to convert csv to txt

Ok, I've installed php on this machine and adjusted the code, it's attached.
But if you want a good result you have to remove the " from the csv file.
When saving it with excell there should be an option to quote string with ", remove that.

I attach also a example txt file that the script had produced on my machine

%11% - $%14%
%7%";
 
$csv = fopen("sample.csv.xls", 'r');
$k = 1;
while ($cvs !== false && !feof($csv)) {
        $string = fgets($csv);
        $data_array = explode($csv_delimiter, $string);
        $return_string = $template;
        for ($i = 1; $i <= sizeof($data_array); $i++) {
                $return_string = str_replace("%".$i."%", $data_array[$i], $return_string);
        }
        touch("file".$k.".txt");
        file_put_contents("file".$k.".txt", $return_string);
        $k++;
}
?>
