Parsing Tools?

Any suggestions on a tool that will download mainframe files to a web server and parse out the files into reports than can either be viewed online or distributed to recipient inboxes? I haven't found anything that fits the bill yet and am getting the feeling that I may be looking at a development project instead of a tool implementation. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds to me like a Perl program would fit the bill nicely. You will need a relatively experienced Perl programmer, and with any luck, they can get any needed sample code off the internet for additional efficiency and speed.

Thanks - are the Perl scripts able to parse .pdf files? I am currently receiving one large .pdf file containing multiple reports and am manually separating them into individual reports. The increased volume has caused a need to automate this process.

Monarch from Datawatch. Is probably the solution you are looking for. I have had great success data gathering from print report files. Ther also have a tool to extract from PDF files.

What is the Operating System on the web server?NT?Unix?
It will be kind of painfull to get Perl running on NT.I'll go with a simple custom solution using sometype of XML transformer/VB Program/ASP/CDONTS,etc.We just implemented something similar few weeks ago.
