If you're only looking for that info (rather than the text of the messages) I would think you'd be able to use sed to only grab the "Session Start" text lines, then either replace spaces with tabs or put tabs just before the fields you're looking for, and then import the resulting file into Excel as tab-delimited. If you know awk it might even be easier. I've been amazed at some of the stuff Shane can do with one line of commands using sed and awk.
