Howdy!


My two cents:


Implement a package in Tcl or Perl to parse these kinds of files;
then, your developers can write short scripts using the package.
No need to define a new language (Tcl or Perl (or Awk) will
do everything you need), but you get the ability to extend the
language for your own needs. Tcl is especially good for creating
problem specific languages.
