You can achieve this in several different methods :

1. Use asterisk build in database, astdb, or use MySQL to start with
(which will also allow you to do advanced text based character
matching using the query string).

2. Use the [system] application to call any of the GNU tool's to match
your file (grep and awk come to mind)

3. Use AGI and call your php / perl script to do the nasty job for you.
