Mark my vote for Perl. Since word processors process text, and so does
Perl, it seems like a good fit.
I knew almost nothing about Perl, and was able to write a script to exctract
comments out of C source code to produce a design document. My script
inserted the text into Microsoft Word via OLE automation. It took about 3
days (remember, I was learning both Perl and Word's object model), but it's
only about 2 pages of code.
I notice no one's proposed Visual Basic!!
