I found a great utility from Microsoft named Log Parser. It is a command-line program that will read log files from many different sources and execute SQL style queries against the log entries. From the Overview:
  • Quickly search for data and patterns in files of various formats, including IIS log files, Windows Event Log files, generic comma separated value (CSV) files, W3C files, and text files.
  • Create formatted reports and XML files containing data retrieved from different sources.
  • Export data to SQL tables. You can export entire files or filter the data to obtain only relevant entries.
  • Convert data from one log file format to another.
  • Very recommended.

    UPDATE (Jan. 20, 2005): An updated version is now available.

    TMQ, Grammer Snob: "It looks like we'll have cold temperatures tomorrow." Weather-bobbleheads constantly use this construction. But temperatures are mathmatical concepts. Temperatures can be high or low, weather can be cold or warm: there cannot be cold temperatures.

    It is a bit to get your hands around, especially the reader/writer objects for I/O. Overall, I like it. The DataGrid control is nice, and is definately less coding once you understand how it works. I also wrote less code for updating the database, thanks to ADO.Net. As Jerry Pournelle writes, it gets an Orchid.

    I worked on redesigning the logo for the RMYB league. The tool at hand was Macromedia's Fireworks v4.0. This program seems much more user-friendly than Adobe's Photoshop. Keep in mind that I have no training in graphic design! Your mileage may vary.
