I have created an application interface with Interface Builder, the complete project is added as a download link.
This program is meant for writing into an ASCII formatted CSV file appending text.
Now this is where I'm stuck: The interface looks ok, but I have no more knowledge of the Xcode bit than a monkey has of brain surgery.
Could someone give me a short explanation for what to do with:
1 the first entry field Add E-mail address:
I presume I must create a custom NSTextField for field 1 and what steps to take from there to make it write the content fo the text field using the button next to it (1a).
2 the second entry field for deletion of a complete string, same question.
2. how to implement a search function by using 3 and 3a?
4. by clicking button 4 replace content by default taken from another text file.
Below you find an explanation according to the numbers used in the pdf file included in the archive for download.
Is anybody kindly willing to give me a little help starting off as a make shift programmer for my own localhost webserver based App + PHP software please? The software will not and never will be used for commercial purposes but that doesn't mean the person who helps me out will not be permitted to do so.

4. by clicking button 4 replace content by default taken from another text file.
Below you find an explanation according to the numbers used in the pdf file included in the archive for download.
When using 1+1a a string of text must be added to the bottom of the file with a prefix+value from field 1.
Example:
Prefix: "newsletter"+","+"year format YYYY"+","
Value from field 1: "johndoe\@noname.com"
The string then would look like:
"newsletter","2007","johndoe\@noname.com" (with a return to the next line)
The first two values in the string may be hardcoded, It will not be necessary to create a dynamically generated Year value.
If a specific E-mail address has allready has been added to the file, it should produce a dialogue box stating" "This E-mail address has allready been added to the database" + OK button.
The second function, 2+2a, is for deleting an E-mail address from the file. If not present, a dialogue box should appear: "The E-mail address could not be found in the database" + OK button.
The third function is search. If found in the file a dialogue box should appear with:
Results:
[list of addresses found] + OK button.
or:
"The E-mail address could not be found in the database" + OK button
The fourth option (button 4) should give a warning dialogue box with: "Are you sure you want to reset the database and delete all E-mail addresses added?" + OK button + Cancel button.
If OK the content of a specific ASCII text file should be taken and the content of the CSV file should be replaced with that content.
Both files are in /etc since it will be used for a localhost website and the CSV file therefore needs Administrator write permission in order to gain control over the content of the file.
