To get the data from a PostScript file requires a PostScript
interpreter; nothing else can be reliable.  Consider

(careful) 2 { (really ) } repeat (Please be ) show show show show

as a simple example of why parsing cannot work properly.

Writing an interpreter is a good 2-5 man years of solid work.

There are two approaches with the interpreter: redefine operators to
track what you need, or modify the interpreter.

GhostScript is open source and free for non-commercial use.
