If I could upvote your comment 10 times, I would. It doesn't seem that the OP knows what exactly they want, and so the question of whether they should be doing things in Node/Python/Bash/SQL/NoSQL is putting the cart way before the horse. It's quite possible grep -- and some regex, and maybe some scripting logic for tokenizing -- is all that's needed, if the hypothesis is clear enough. But right now, it just sounds like OP has a ton of text and is hoping that some tool can somehow produce an unanticipated, useful insight...in my experience, that rarely (OK, never, actually) happens.


I was wondering what exactly is OP looking for. Most probably he forgot to put his problem in.

If he just wants to parse the text his bare minimum ubuntu install is enough with grep, cat etc.
