Yes, you can. You can get Mathematica to take any imaginable action based on
the outcome of rule-based operations.

This doesn't necessarily mean Mathematica is the ideal tool for the job you
contemplate, but it can do it. And if the task includes a significant
mathematical subset of operations, Mathematica might turn out to be a
reasonable choice.
