Process a .gcode/txt file to extract data into a .csv file with Applescript

Here's what I'd like to do: Process a .gcode file to extract certain data and then create a .csv file containing all this data.

For your information, this .gcode file is used on a 3D printer or laser/CNC machine. This file contains all the information needed by the 3D printer, all the different settings, as well as all the movements that need to be performed by the printer.

For movements, the file is formatted with one line per movement without a delimiter. For settings, the file is formatted with one line per setting but with a ";" as the delimiter.

Here's a small example of a gcode file (it's a small example, because a gcode file can be much larger and contain many more lines of movements):

As a beginner, I don't know if Applescript is the best way to process the file, so I'm looking forward to your advice and ideas.

The principle of this applescript would be:

1. Step 1 : Request the file to process.
2. Step 2 : Create a copy of the file for backup purposes.
3. Step 3 : Delete all movement lines (without delimiters).
4. Step 4 : Create a .csv file that will collect all the lines extracted from the .gcode file.
5. Step 5 : Search for the "; thumbnail begin" and "; thumbnail end" tags and copy all lines between these two tags into the .csv file.
6. Step 6 : Search for approximately 22 lines of specific settings and then copy them into the .csv file (Example: search for the line "; sparse_infill_density = 100%" and copy/paste it into the .csv file, removing the ";" delimiter and placing "sparse_infill_density" in a row with "100%" as the value.)

I'm a complete beginner, and with the help of some contributors, I managed to create a small applescript that replicates steps 1, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, my limited knowledge prevents me from going any further, even though I've done a lot of research, experimenting, and learning.

I hope to find a kind soul here who would be willing to help me. Thank you in advance.
