in reply to File parsing

A general question merits a general answer.

In outline, you can do the following:

Obtain the text in a format readable and writabel by Perl (or any other programming language or tool you want to use)
Read the file and find the parts that need to be replaced.
Perform the replacement.
Write the edited text back to a file.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
