1. A method for parsing data according to configurable criteria, the method comprising steps of:

  • storing in a first data storage device a plurality of programmably configurable protocol descriptions that define a plurality of control character characteristics of the data;

    storing in a second data storage device a program for controlling a data parsing function to be executed by a processing unit, the program including instructions for causing the processing unit to selectively retrieve at least one of the programmably configurable protocol descriptions from the first data storage device and to vary the execution of the data parsing function based upon the at least one retrieved protocol description file;

    delivering the program for controlling the data parsing function to the processing unit;

    delivering the data to the processing unit; and

    enabling the processing unit to execute the data parsing function.
