Java app to transform text file

I want a small Java app that translates a text file from my handy entry method into CSV. I'm rusty on Java libraries and thought it made a small project to test the outsourcing concept. I'll supply the psuedo-code and a test case. Input goes from one file with a list of accounts, short names for accounts, and default payees. A second file contains a sequence of lines where each line is a comment, a blank line, a date, a transaction, part of a split transaction, or a balance statement. Output is a CSV (comma delimited values) file with two lines per normal transaction. For example this: 11-04 Cash/Food:Out:Charles/BajaFresh/Lunch/6.22 # Simple format of from acct, to acct, Payee, comment & # vendor, amount 11-03 Cash/coffee//Tip/1 # account expands to "Food:Out:Coffee". Vendor moves to default for account. Cash/Balance/309 # adjustment entry. To: "T","101","2004-11-04","Cash","Food:Out:Charles","BajaFresh","Lunch",6.22 "T","102","2004-11-03","Cash","Food:Out:Coffee","","Tip",1 "B","103","2004-11-03","Cash",309 My pseduocode for details looks more like this: expand ReadOnce AKA as dictionary(abbreviation, account name) if matches an AKA, take key ReadOnce Accounts as dictionary(element name, array of (full name until element)) accountPrefix = null foreach words possibles = match word in dictionary foreach possibles if accountPrefix not start of possibles, delete if more than one possible error ambiguious account prefix = single remaining possible account = prefix ...
