en C#, write code that can import the content of the input text files to the common data format used by the analysis. The solution should be extensible to handle others formats and display good object oriented principles. Content that does strictly adhere to either of the two formats should be reject with the message The input is not in a valid format. Read input content using Console.ReadLine().Write output to Console.A number of externally sourced text files are required to provide a complete set of data for some business analysis. The content of each file is considered to be the input to the program as a string array with each line being an element of the array. The content maybe in CSV or FixedWidth format. The target format of the output is serialised JSON with all white space removed. The source and target data schemas are mapped as follows: (Target Output Field, Datatype, CSV input field, fixed width input field) have: (OriginalSourceId, String, Ref, characters 1-4), (TransactionDate, DateTime, Date, characters 5-14), (Value, Decimal, Amount, characters 15-22), (Rate, Decimal, Rate, characters 23-27)
