I will see if I can create something over the weekend.

I will try to do a CSV file output directly, so you can use that to import to a database maybe ?

LogExpert is Free. Very fast and written in c#. Why reinvent the wheel. It is a full blown application that can do anything your hearts desire regarding viewing log files and parsing them

@Eathshine,

Indeed there are many (free) tools available on the internet, for this type of logging.

I don't know the use case of VAN0 ?

Well if all he wants is log expert I have boils down to the necessary DLLs and created a custom installer in case people didn’t want to use chocolatey to install it. It’s on github and I highly recommend it I use it every day as I watch my production builds roll I can keep an eye on  failures and warnings

In my case, my logs are not standard format and I'd like have separate column for each section of the log, which I can sort by, including moving around. On top of that colorize based on certain criteria individual cells and/or entire line (i.e. colored based on status)

@ptrex:

There is no way return the data into variable without creating additional files?

Sure, but then you can best use Lars his .NET library as shown here
