Perl is well supported under Windows and all flavors of *nix. That would be a good choice in my opinion.
You can write Perl code that looks an awful lot like C, or you can make it extremely cryptic and obfuscated for a C programmer. One thing I love in Perl is regex. Not much equivalent under any other Windows tool that I am familiar with. I am not sure why you would need regex for that though. Only problem (for me) is that of the GUI. I have not done GUIs in Perl (aside from generating html code), but I can see a standalone executable that would take a file in, and produce a file out, and you can use your favorite language to display the results.

My only request is to code unobfuscatedly (sp?) to make translation into other languages easier (e.g., I'd love a perl module with these functions, but am a complete schmoe at figuring out C).
