I'm pretty sure that you could use "regular expressions" for that, though you'll have to play around with the script.

You can definitely do it with regular expressions and various string functions. The hardest part is usually defining some unique string that you can use to find the data you want. OK if you write the target script as you can insert some unique comment to help you with that, a real problem if it is someone elses source you are working with.
