There are some questions that need to be asked. Like the following: Is this a game or an utility program? What is the main goal of the program or utility? What language do you want to program this in? What platform is this going to be for? I think that Bateau is correct in saying that Perl is most likely the best language. Perl is something that I just picked up about 3 or 4 month ago. Any language is easy to learn the basic if you have a good programming foundation.
