I talked to marco on the IRC, this script is really easy to understand because is all commented out. I dont see the problem on understanding a parser, declaring a bunch of different varaibles and then do a double while loop to parse the title and the content of the DAT file. Finally the script just put together wathever was parsed.
You dont need to be a genius or know perl to understand that. However further talk he really wanted is to integrate the script into his project doing reverse engineering. So that is a completely different task since we don't know how his software is worked out. Purebasic is a proprietary application that I wouldnt really come close to want to touch. I have suggested Marco to 'port' his application to OpenOffice native OOBasic environment. It would work out much better for the rest of the community.
