The goal is to read in the file, add/edit/delete a record and write it back. A sample file (start to finish) is as below: It's very hard to judge from one sample file what is the range of possible inputs that your program needs to deal with; in particular, whether you can get by with a simple line-by-line analysis using regular expressions, or whether you need to do full recursive parsing based on a BNF grammar. Superficially, it looks like the second case, but I might be misjudging. The answer to this question fundamentally affects the design approach you adopt. In the second case, I would recommend writing a parser for the input format (perhaps using a tool such as JavaCC) that converts it into XML, and then write the XSLT transformation to process the resulting XML.
