However, if you invest a few hours here and there, you will start to master a language that suits your purpose. I myself learned Perl back when C and LISP were still taught. Any quick, one-time transformation I can do in Perl. There are a bunch of other languages out there that so similar stuff for you purpose (Python, Ruby, etc...)
I also sense you'd be happy to graphically click your transformation together. I advocate against such practice as the solutions I've seen so far work well for Hello Worlds but start to stink at anything half complex.
If you have a career you will understand that unless you invest (in yourself) you will remain at the mercy of others.
