What you describe is primarily a task of processing the text in a PDB file.
I would recommend perl, with python as a more trendy alternative.
If this is to be a springboard for a larger project, then you might choose
instead to use a standard library like cctbx to do the fiddly stuff and
call it from a higher level language (C or C++).
