Well... I have two solutions for you...  
    The program/language perl has very powerful string manipulation
abilities, as well as a *very* powerful interface to unix.   I am sure that
you can get the current version on any of the standard archive sites, and
it is probably up at stanford as well.   I would think that this is a good
choice. 
    If you really really want basic, there is one implementation floating
around... I dont know much about it except that it does exist... You can
find a copy of the src (not a tar file) via anonymous ftp from
topaz.rutgers.edu in /pyr-public/languages/Basic.
