Hello All,

I am looking for a way to pre-process a text file (any text file).  Does
anyone know of a tool, component, or just Delphi or Pascal source code
that takes a text file, and using some syntax within the file to:
  - Expand macros
  - Allow conditional inclusion or exclusion of text lines based on
DEFINEs or something along those lines.
  - Include other files

Ideally, this tool would either produce a result text file or return a
Delphi string list with the result text lines.  I prefer to compile the
tool right into the product.  The tool could even be a C-style
pre-processor for handling #define, #include, etc.

Our text file is a large custom data dictionary for a FlashFiler
database.  I would like to use conditional inclusion and macros to
maintain only one copy of this file while supporting all variations of
the core product.

Any help is much appreciated.
