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.
Most software is designed to accomplish a limited number of specific tasks. Log Parser is different... the number of ways it can be used is limited only by the needs and imagination of the user. The world is your database with Log Parser.
Bash it because it's microsoft, but I love to use Logparser
I'm looking for a simple - comes with examples in the help file
free - its IS free
F/OSS flat-file database program - that's its purpose
MS SQL, Access (MS), and Oracle, all of which would be overkill for my purposes - runs with simple.BAT script file
must work in Windows Vista - it does
preferably use a portable format - it uses CSV, TSV, TEXTLINE, TEXTWORD, XML (and 15 other formats)
must not be an online app - its run from the command line
must not require Java - requires nothing but windows
Does such a beast exist? - yes, dozens as you have seen by this thread
simply logparser "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM filename.csv" -i:CSV
And it has all the power of aggregation, sorting, filtering, and many output formats (chart, datagrid,CSV,IIS,NAT,SQL,SYSLOG,TPL,TSV,W3C,XMl) or even directly into a database

This gives a whole new meaning to a "rainy day in hell."
