Seems to me you'd be better off just running the PHP code and dumping
the arrays out with var_dump or print_r "like" function to generate
your new language files...
Otherwise, you're writing a fairly big chunk of the PHP parser, which
is already in PHP, so you re-invent the wheel...

anyone know of a decent script (or something I can rip out of an

the ones which define tons of array elements e.g.:
$Lang['foo'] = 'bar';
I'm looking for something that can handle quotes properly and 'weird'
array keys
(that include constants, for instance) as well as sprintf markers in
the 'translation'
text (e.g. "my %s hurts") and if at all possible the abiltiy to
recognise and not f'up
stuff like:
$Lang['foo'] = 'my '.$Lang['bar'].' really hurts';
and I'd prefer it to be able to keep file formatting, item ordering
and comments
as they were when saving back into the file.
I can't find anything really useful - the firefox 'php lang file'
editor plugin, is,
for instance, not up to the job.

From what he said, I read that he want to rip the contents out of the file, not actually parse it.
for example, if he parsed this out:
$Lang['foo'] = 'my '.$Lang['bar'].' really hurts';
You would get the completed string, not a line that has the variable call in it.
Maybe I took it wrong, but that is what I thought he wanted.
a reader, not a parser.
