Daniel,
Have you considered modifying a pretty-printer program?
Or how about the lexical analyzer part of a compiler, the
part which emits the data-typed tokens of the input file
that is being scanned? There are lex/flex files available
for most popular programming languages that you could
probably use as a starting point.
