It would be very unusual for anybody to share an Email address with people they don't know.
You would help people to read your code if you put it between <pre></pre> tags, and format it properly, with indents and so on. Also only post relevant code, there is far too much in your question.

As I said, format your code, cut out anything not directly related to the problem and then more people will be likely to read it and offer suggestions.
At the moment I am not prepared to strain my eyes and brain, trying to read your code. Therefore I am unable to help resolve your problem.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for your proposal. But I dont think it would be easier to understand for other people if I shorten it out. But I have another suggestion. If you can compile the code and then I can give you the example of security.txt and position.txt and then you may see the result and the problem itself.
Any thoughts?

I can't speak for Henry, but I would not compile and run source code from someone I didn't know well and hadn't examined thoughly - any more than I would run an EXE file I "just found" on a website.

But if you just go through a bit you would never find that it is anything harmful. Actually I am new in this language and facing a tough problem wanted to share with others so that I can get the help. But I think my thinking or point of view was wrong.
Regards,
Sam

I think that is Henry's point - we don't want to go though all that stuff. You have to remember that we don't get paid for this - so we aren't going to put ourselves out too much unless we are really interested. Large amounts of unformatted, dull looking code with a "it doesn't allways work properly" comment are unlikely to be looked at.
A short, snappy formatted code fragment with "why does it ignore all lines with 'Banana' in them?" is a lot more likely to get a good response.

You carry on being right and doing it your way.
I'll carry on not helping you, as, I suspect, will most others.

It's ok Henry.

Why do you think that ? you're dead wrong. If you actually try to debug it yourself, you'll either find the answer, or come up with a code snippet that you can intelligently explain what you expect, and what it is doing. What you're saying right now is, I wrote all this code, and I'm too dumb to understand it, so you do the work for me.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply. I tried with all of my little knowledge. But was undone fully. Somewhere I am doing something silly so my exe is not working exactly. Since my code is dependant with other two files, I am not able to understand where there something is misiing in source files or in source code. That was the reason I posted all the source code.
Regards,
Sam

So, you stepped through the debugger, and all you can tell us is that something doesn't work in the source code as a whole ?

I'm sorry, but this is a disaster. This code is close to unreadable. It is full of idioms that make no sense. You don't define 'not working' and it's clear you've not bothered to use the debugger to work out why it's doing what it is. No-one can fix this code without running it, with the files you are using, and no-one is going to do that for you. We'd be happy to explain to you how to use the debugger, although you really should have a book to tell you that. This code is way too bad, and your skill level way too low, for you to be doing this for a paid job, so I assume you're doing this for a class. Your best bet, is to talk to your professor, so he/she knows how lost you are and is able to better help you going forward.
Of course, the industry in the state it's in, I am aware that someone may well be paying for this mess. If that's true, it's an absolute disgrace. Of course, if it's not, then everyone has to learn, the issue here is that instead of learning, you're asking us to fix it for you. The debugger is there for a reason, you will never cut it as a programer unless you take the time to learn how to use it.
But, if you're willing to at least try to diagnose your own problem, and if you have a specific question when you know exactly what is going wrong, I'm sure we'd be happy to help you. I would recommend reading the guidelines on how to ask questions before posting another one, you broke a fair number of them in your post this time.

I'm sorry if the truth offends you. The truth is, no-one can help you just by reading the code. They would have to run it. And, no-one is going to do that. So, if you want to write code, then learn to debug it. It's REALLY easy. Press F9 to set a breakpoint and your code will pause where you set it, the debug menu will let you step through and see what is happening.
What is obviously happening is that your file format is not exactly what you think it is, and so the code fails for some lines. Again, the debugger is how you work out what is going on.

I have given you more help than you deserve. Just because I didn't magically pull a solution out of thin air ( when finding one based on this is impossible ), doesn't mean I didn't try to help.
If you're not able to debug this code, then it's probably true that a wealth management company shouldn't be managing people's wealth based on code that you don't really understand. Why not pay someone to write something that works, if you're not willing to take the time to learn to do it yourself ?

Sammy is from India. Would you send your wealth to India to be managed? 
If the “wealth management” companies in South Asia are anything like the “wealth management “ companies in Southeast Asia (and why should one thing they are different) the only wealth management is to transfer money to a bank in Hong Kong (or some other such place) and never see it, or the proceeds of the management efforts, again.

If you manage billions in US wealth you are surely a publically owned company. What is you stock symbol and what exchange do you trade on?
I may be interested in buying some stock in your company.
