The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Strip Credit Card numbers from Text files

Asked by steveoskh in Miscellaneous Security, Miscellaneous Software, Point of Sale

Tags:

We have historical POS transaction files that contain credit card information.  We would like strip or truncate the credit card numbers from these files.  I am looking for programs or scripts that would accomplish this.  
All files are in a single directory structure, so the tool should look at all files and folders at a starting level.
The files contain other numbers, so it needs to know the difference between a credit card and a UPC or other string of numbers.

Sample file data:
"2/27/2006",38869,01,213,2,"UPC","07800000940",1,1,3.19,1,0.00,3.19,0.00,"TF",""
"2/27/2006",38869,01,213,3,"UPC","02980014572",1,1,5.99,1,0.00,5.99,0.00,"F",""
"2/27/2006",38869,01,213,4,"CREDIT","",0,0,0.00,0,0.00,0.00,26.64,"","37000000000049"

Sample 2:
Term2,03/05/06,09:35:23,139,*VISA*                      100.00
Term2,03/05/06,09:35:23,139,S 4400000000000001 EXP. 0105
Term2,03/05/06,09:35:23,139,LOC: 05123402 INV: 00001117
Term2,03/05/06,09:35:23,139,ATH:   01231B APPRVD    01231B
Term2,03/05/06,09:35:23,139,CHANGE DUE                    0.00

I would also like to scan all files on our network for potential card numbers.  A program that would look at tthe contents of every file for CC info and list the file name location and the line of text for cell with the card number.  This would allow me to scan other files for "forgotten" files with this information.Start Free Trial
