parse tab delimited file on Mac and PC
<p>I haven't done much scripting before.  I took a Javascript class once, but that was mainly for form validation.  I have a tab-delimited file that I want to parse, just taking certain columns I need, not all of them.  I was wondering if there is a good common language to do this in that would work on both the PC or Mac.  I don't know if I need to worry about how each platform interprets newlines or other ASCII characters.  Thanks!</p>
