Make sure they're using (unique!) dummy text in each field you wish to
replace, like XXY_FIELD1_YXX, etc.

Then just "Print to Postscript" (Print to File with a very basic Postscript
printer driver, like the Apple Laserwriter II or HP Laserjet 4PS, etc).

That will be a pure ASCII Postscript file.

You can then easily look for the unique field names and replace them on the
fly with your desired text.

Be careful though - if you have "multi-line" data, you will need to have
dummy text for each one, or handle the wrapping of the text on your own. 
THIS IS NOT DONE FOR YOU IN POSTSCRIPT.
