Can you provide a couple of example outputs that you're actually
trying to process?  We can offer some general suggestions and guides
on where to look, but without knowing exactly what the data you're
processing looks like, it's difficult.

My immediate thought is that a decent regular expression and either
grep, sed, or awk will likely do the trick easily enough.  Give us
some sample data, and we can probably be more helpful. ;-)
