Daniel, 

Have you considered modifying a pretty-printer program? 

Or how about the lexical analyzer part of a compiler, the
part which emits the data-typed tokens of the input file
that is being scanned?  There are lex/flex files available
for most popular programming languages that you could
probably use as a starting point.
