Followup: In the end the lua function string.find was used to split
each line into fields with required contents and delimiters, and the
resulting entries were checked and assigned manually.  This may not be
totally "secure", but it will help catch most common errors.

Lua was also used to replace make, grep, and gawk, and is a nice
addition to the TeX ecosystem.
