Description
At my work, we use a lot of log files as TXT files, created from the treatment of invoices.
Now we browse through them with notepad or another text editor.
Since all invoice logging is put in the same file, it's hard to track what all happened with a certain log file.
It would be handy for us to be able to filter and sort invoices and the events that happened with it.
It would be template based, so that you can choose/create a template that defines the number of columns and it they are a fixed with or with a seperator.
example of a logfile:
It's my first try at using Autoit. It looks like a perfect environment to create tools like that.

Wonderful - thanks!!
) so I'm wondering if this would work on files like that? If you need someone to test it on those...
