Replay Parser Help

Hi, I'd like to make my own basic replay parser as I need one for a Stealthbot script I'm trying to write. Basically, I have very little programming knowledge outside of vJASS/very basic VBScript (from Stealthbot scripts). I'm quite capable of learning a language, but to start with I'd like to know what would be the most appropriate language to code this in. All I need the parser to do is take an input replay file and output a text file (or some sort of database format, something I'm also unfamiliar with) with certain data from the file. Run from the command line would be fine, it doesn't need a GUI.

Is this going to be an easy or practical project? What would be the most appropriate language for this program? Any tips on where to get started and the process for actually parsing a replay file would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bump, I guess.
