an example would be (note that I am most fluent in PHP and use this,
but it doesn't really matter)

set $file to uploaded file
copy each line into an item in an array
with each line in the array
   extract certain info
   put the info into a database
etc...

I have found that when you first start working on code, if create the
entire application in pseudo-code before you start working on any real
code, you have multiple benifits.
1. You can see where you can streamline (ie move something into a
function/method)
2. You can get a better idea of how you are going to do something, and
waste less time if you find you cannot.
3. Pseudo-code makes good comment documentation, with a little cleanup.

IMHO every app should begin in pseudo-code.
