It seems to me it would be much easier to load the data into a temporary
table, and from there transform into the form you need it to be. If you're not
experienced in C (and probably even if you are) you can import *a lot* of data
in the time it would take you to develop that custom filter.
Besides, your requirements don't appear to be that difficult.
