Hi All,

I have some experience in C and Object Pascal, but I get the feeling that 
they're not the best languages for parsing text. A web developer who once 
worked here commented that a C program we were using for parsing a CSV file 
(grab fields, rearrange them, do basic sanity checks) would take a fraction 
of the effort to code in PHP.

What other "text-friendly" languages are out there, besides PHP and Python? 
Which one do you prefer to use for simple parsing?
