ASP/JS/CSS/HTML to grab a chunk of data and send to CSV / TextFile / Clipboard??

Ok, sorry about the extended title, but here's what I'm trying to do.

I've built a form which captures a fair bit of data (about 100 variables, it then sends this data to a recipient email address. The data is presented in two ways upon receipt:

Tabular - Contains the info in a nice, readable format.
CSV - Pipe (|) Deliminated chunk of data, also has file csv headers too.

The CSV block is then copied and pasted into an blank csv file on a local server. this CSV file is checked and then uploaded via FTP to run as a EDI (Electronic Document Interface). Ignoring anything complicated, what I want to do is minimise on the amount of user input it takes from receiving the email to getting it in a format readable by our EDI.

The current steps are a little too involving, mouse clicks, navigation, finding files, opening, replacing data and such like.

What I thought about doing was creating a small VB application which would read the data in the clipboard (or allow past too) and then seperate this |deliminated info into variables, allow for a quick error check (and possibly user intervention on any of these variables) and then a quick button to finialise the process.

Would this be the best way? Could I run it entirly from script in the email if it has file access and access to run batch files or exe's? Perhaps just a batch file will do the job, copying, moving files, running the EDI etc...

I just want to make it idiot/bullet proof, but i'm not really sure of the best way - I'm a bit out of practice.

Any advice would be appreciated.
