Good morning Excel Forum!
I've been trying to find a way to streamline pulling specific sections of text from an program log and separating it into columns in a spreadsheet. The log is basically a daily "Audit Log" that tracks all data being imported into a program:
The log is exported into Excel spreadsheet format, from which I manually copy/paste certain parts (see Bolded above) of the log into another spreadsheet with columns separating the data:Importing File: D:\CustData\REPORTNAME.txt, modified at 3/29/2017 10:35:37 PM

End Executing Custom Process

End Executing Custom Process
Start Processing Teller Records (Import ID: PCTR12345)
Total Records: 123
Successfully Imported: 123
Excluded: 0
End Processing Teller Records
Total Report Lines: 345258
Warning: The Record\Line Ratio (0%) is below the minimum (50%) threshold, see Report File Detail report for more details.
Archiving file: D:\CustData\REPORTNAME.txt
End Importing File

To clarify, I am pulling information from an Excel spreadsheet and copy/pasting it into another Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to automate/streamline this process besides manually copy/pasting the information or is copy/pasting the information the easier route? I do this monthly so you can imagine having to sort and copy/paste 30+ days of the same type of data can get pretty tedious and is pretty much time wasting.
