The first step is to sit down and develop a 'specification' for the program.
What information is going to be available in the program?
What operations does the end user need to be able to do with the information?
How is the manipulated information to be presented to the end user?

Then your next job is going to be to get a list of all potential materials
and their pricings and put them somewhere for reference.

You say you have 2 files now? What kind of files are they? I presume that
one file contains the list of materials and sizes while the other list
contains price list? How do the two lists relate to one another?
