I agree with Alan. We need more detail.

Why are you asking this question on the Python Tutor list?

I presume you are using Python.

We prefer to help you as you show us effort. Do you know enough Python 
to write a program that reads a file and creates another?

I suggest you start with that, and also give us enough additional 
details so we fully understand what you want.

Sample input - sample output would help a lot.
