I have discovered that the best way of parsing text files is MC, so I can parse my logs for whatever I need, but I need a tool that can send data to MC as soon as i connect to it... Does anyone have such a tool handy, or should I make one? Or if anyone knew of a scriptable regex parser or something like it, that would be even better.

Cat is a small server, connect to it at port 4000 and the commands are "get " and "end". Only accepts local connections, terminates 3 seconds after it sends the file specified by the "get" command.

Still, if anyone knows a good tool, please post here.

Visual Basic Script has it's own built-in regular expression engine. See this thread for details:
