Background information: In Vietnam, participant's answer in programming contest will be burnt to a CD after they have finished their code on the computer. Then, examiner will add all of the participant's answer to a folder A (each participant's answer will be a subfolder B) with a syntax G(ID_NUMBER). EX: G001. To avoid the unfairness may occur when the examiners (which are teachers) know the ID number of their students and then will mark it higher than it should be, every ID_NUMBER in the folder A will be rewritten to another format: P(001+number) (I will name this format: alternative number).

This tool was to help head examiner create and track alternative number easily by creating a duplicate version of the folder A (let call it folder C). Folder C will be the folder contains all of the alternative number + the answer of participant (This then will be the folder that be delivered to other teachers to mark). All the ID number and the equivalent alternative number will be stored in an EXCEL file so that when the head examiner type the score, he/she will know immediately which ID number is belong to that score.
Acknowledgment: I was inspired to create this tool by my teacher, who share with me about the difficulty when teachers have to create the alternative number manually.
