Hey, I'm a hard/firmware guy who only writes in C, Verilog and VHDL.

I need a simple language I can use to write scripts to manipulate text files. About the most complicated thing I'll do is read in a text file, strip out some stuff, and convert the ASCII into hex.

What language or tool would be best for this kind of stuff? It would have to run on a Windows XP system.

Where can I find info about how Linker scripts work?

To give some background: I'm writing a program for a microprocessor, not much of an OS. I need the entire program stored in flash but run from RAM. I can do this easily for functions I've written, but the compiler adds in functions like memcpy and __divsf3 (handles floating point division), and I'd like all that run out of RAM as well.

Any thoughts?

It's actually a NIOS II processor, embedded in an FPGA
