Parsing text data using Perl or Excel VBA ???

[Robert Bianchi <R.Bianchi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I receive my futures statements via email in ascii format. I am trying to
extract and parse the data out of the ascii files and into a database.  I
have knowledge in Excel VBA but no experience with the Perl language.

Are there any traders out there that have travelled this path before and
can suggest whether Perl or Excel VBA is the best solution ????

Correspondence can be private as this does NOT relate to Omega-List issues.

Thanking you in advance,
