When a application is launch it would have logging of what is happening in the backend of the application. Should there be an error it would be captured in a log. So I want to create something that would go through the log then search for number errors number of action the application perform(such as calculation) and then create another text file where it would list a number or errors and the number of action perform

Stats? sorry I don't quiet understand your question do you want to grab info from a txt document? what type of data? you can do this I imagine it would be per line like for example in the txt document you would have: line 1 text goes here line 2 text goes here line 3 text goes here and so on you would be grabbing the WHOLE line value this is to my understanding. I could be wrong i'm a newbie :P feel free to correct me i'm learning this still.
