checking text file

Hello,

I have the following report (report.txt) file (see attached).

I would like to check the file and if the field is error, then showing error message at output.

  1. In the report, 1st, 2st and 3nd line can be ignore to check
  2. start to check line 4 (each field use "," to split
  • 1st field should be 5 digits (0-9)
  • 2nd field should be A-Z
  • 3rd field should be 5 digits (0-9)
  • 4th field should be one char (Y or N)
  • 5th field should be 00:00 to 99:99 or 0:00 to 9:99
  • 6th field should be number or with "."
    and so on....(i can do it by myself if you can provide above sample for me)
  • until last two field, should be 3 char (A-Z)
  1. At the end of the report, the line should be "*** End of Report *** ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

If any error for each field, just show the line number is ok for me.

Hope someone can help me for this...

Many Thanks!
