Need help to build a tiny application - extract,sort and display data from text file

[waleed]

Hello,
I'm beginner in programming via VB, i learned C,C++ and i'm working with DCL.
I need to build a little application that can help me working.
Every day i'm receiving a huge text file with over 10000 lines full of informations that i have to check, analyze and extract status of few things.
It takes me 3 to 4 hours to finish.
I can not explain more because it is confidential.

The information in the text file is separated by some characters like

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
##########################################
******************************
[
and few letters and keywords.

what i want to do is to build an app that opens the file and separate the contents and shows a tab for each sector (they are about 25)
when i click a tab it shows down on left 10 or 12 more tabs with the titles like status, date...
and when i click on them it takes the info from the file and show it on the right.

& it will run on WINxp.

I know it is simple for a programmer but i'm not yet a confirmed one
Please can you help me doing this or may be just tell me in which programming language it will be easier or faster.
Thank you.
