what you need is a parser .. !?
What do you mean? A self developped scripting language?
Not knowing any more than you've told us here, I'd say that a good place to start would be Tcl.  It's got a nice interface to C and can be imbedded in apps...
You can use VbScript/JavaScript. Writing your own can be very much time consuming..
I would say Perl.. it's great...
Python is a good choice.  Check:
   www.python.org
   www.psa.org

Compare different languages (scripting and otherwise):

I need a scripting language for a program i'm doing, like the script's in mirc, pirch or install shield.

Thanks
Python is *intended* to be used as a scripting language in applications.
and Perl too... you can use Perl in your C programs... C is great for dealing with texts, and parsing and other cool stuff... try it out.. it's great :)
i'm sorry.
This is not really what i need.
I need a basic scipting langue for an application i'm doing with need scripting capabilities(like Mirc, Pirch or install shield)

Does anyone know where i can find one?
Thanks
write your own scripting language, or take one of the above .... Perl, TCL ....

What's the problem?  You were offered a choice of three scripting languages that you can "plug" into your application: Python, Perl and Tcl.  Just pick one.
What is the page of the tcl language, so i can download it and try it.
I didn't like python or perl
In my app i would like to use a scripting languge smiliar to pascal or c/c++ are there any c or pascal interpreters out there. It would be more usefull than tcl or any other scripting language
Check the following lists:
  http://www.idiom.com/free-compilers/ECATEGORY/embeddab-1.html
  http://www.idiom.com/free-compilers/ECATEGORY/scriptin-1.html

You will find several languages "smiliar to pascal or c/c++".
So, what did you chose?  Tcl (as the accepted answer)?
