School children write programs in BASIC all the time. It's not that difficult
--especially if you were thinking about using Batch programming to do this.
The syntax is similar. If you were aware of using something as a variable,

you're able to do this. You *will* need to learn how to work with strings (data).
While there is a core set of instructions in BASIC,

each compiler is a little different.
I've already shown you that the software is available gratis
and any good compiler has its own tutorial available.
Getting back to kids, there are probably youngsters
at your local community college or high school who could work with you on this.
...or perhaps a local computer club.
