need advice on programming language

[Chris Cheatham <nchrisc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to write a little batch-type program to read an ascii or excel data
file and basically import the contents of the file into a futuresource data
file via the FS data edit program.  Would be a pretty simple keyboard macro
thing, except that the fs program will not permit pasting in numbers so have
to emulate actual keystrokes.

I  haven't done much besides easylanguage in quite a while-- anyone have a
recommendation of a language fairly easy to learn to do a simple task like
this? Calc speed is not as important as programming ease.

Thanks,
Chris
