Sure. As I had mentioned, this all can be done. How many of the readers of this
forum would be able to do it? How long would an experienced user need to get
everything right (some names will probably have "/" inside, or "\" - an escaping
machanism defined in the PGN-Standard).? To me this looks not like a trivial
project.
