Server side processing - sorting, paging, etc

Hi all. I'm just starting out with using the fantastic datatables and have a query that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. Basically I have a file that I would like to parse and then display in a datatable. Seeing as this file may be quite large in size, it makes sense to do the processing on the server. Displaying the data in the table is not a problem but getting the sorting, paging, etc working is where I am struggling. Am I correct in thinking that for this to be done on the server side I need to write my own scripts? Looking around I can only seem to find example scripts for occasions when a database is queried. Does anyone know of any examples of code achieving what I am trying to achieve? Thanks in advance.
