Nabeel,
I'd have to agree with John, perl would handle it simply for you.
Depending on how many records your going to store and how many
concurrent users, you could also use SQLite which is an easy install,
very small foot print and takes minimal resources. Installing the perl
module DBD::SQLite will also install the database.
For reading text files I use a perl module called Text::Delimited.

I have a list of dates (the first column) and values as such:

3012 0626 0111 0429
3112 0625 0113 0433
I need to look up the values corresponding to today's date, i.e.
${DATETIME:0:4}, and pass them into an Asterisk variable. I could put the
data into MySQL and use the MySQL() command, but that almost seems like
overkill, especially because the data is so small and is static (and MySQL
is not currently installed on the Asterisk box).
Is there an easy was to store this in a file and lookup directly in the
Dialplan? Is there a Linux application that I could pass in a System()
command to do it?
You could write a Perl script to store the data in whatever format
you need into a file and another Perl script to search and respond
however you require
