Extracting specific fields from a log file and export it to csv file using C#

This is the code that I have written in C# which shows the contains in the sample.log file which is 110MB in size.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Fil开发者_Python百科eStream fs = new FileStream("sample.log", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);
            string StrFromFile;
            StringBuilder ResultStr = new StringBuilder();


          while ((StrFromFile = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
          { 
            // your separator char seems to be char 1
            string[] SplitStrs = StrFromFile.Split(new char[] {(char)1});        
            for (int i = 0; i < SplitStrs.Length; i++)
            {   
                if (SplitStrs[i].StartsWith("52="))
                {
                    ResultStr.Append(SplitStrs[i] + " ");
                }
                else if (SplitStrs[i].StartsWith("55="))
                {
                    ResultStr.Append(SplitStrs[i] + " ");
                }
                else if (SplitStrs[i].StartsWith("132="))
                {
                    ResultStr.Append(SplitStrs[i] + " ");
                }
                else if (SplitStrs[i].StartsWith("133="))
                {
                    ResultStr.Append(SplitStrs[i] + " ");
                }
                else if (SplitStrs[i].StartsWith("35="))
                {
                    ResultStr.Append(SplitStrs[i] + " ");
                }   
            }

            Console.WriteLine(ResultStr);
            ResultStr.Length = 0;
         }
            sr.Close();
            fs.Close();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

I am getting this output,

Output:

35=5 52=20101219-18:05:01.522 
35=A 52=20101219-18:06:01.504 
35=A 52=20101219-18:06:02 
35=1 52=20101219-18:06:02 
35=R 52=20101219-18:06:01.847 55=EUR/USD 

Now the problem is how do I write this output in csv file? Any idea.

Rather than write your own: Log Parser 2.2:

Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®. You tell Log Parser what information you need and how you want it processed. The results of your query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart.

• Log Parser Examples

• Coding Horror: Microsoft LogParser

• Forensic Log Parsing with Microsoft's LogParser

Log Parser's built-in Input Formats can retrieve data from the following sources:

• IIS log files (W3C, IIS, NCSA, Centralized Binary Logs, HTTP Error logs, URLScan logs, ODBC logs)
• Windows Event Log
• Generic XML, CSV, TSV and W3C - formatted text files (e.g. Exchange Tracking log files, Personal Firewall log files, Windows Media® Services log files, FTP log files, SMTP log files, etc.)
• Windows registry
• Active Directory Objects
• File and Directory information
• NetMon .cap capture files
• Extended/Combined NCSA log files

For Linux you could use AWStats:

AWStats can analyze a lot of log formats: Apache NCSA combined log files (XLF/ELF) or common (CLF), IIS log files (W3C), WebStar native log files and other web, proxy, wap or streaming servers log files (but also ftp or mail log files).

Also: Logparser (Microsoft's one) or similar for Unix?

Have a look at filehelpers: www.filehelpers.com, an open source .Net library for parsing and saving CSV files.
Very easy and very powerful
