Log analysis tools?

I've got an application that generates a custom log file, and I'm looking for a tool or set of tools I can use to analyze these logs.

My requirement is simple: find matching log events ("Event XYZ Start", "Event XYZ End"), compute the difference in the time stamps and export these delta measurements to some sort of file that I can use to calculate the average duration.

Eclipse has some tools for analyzing logs, but it seems complicated to setup and I haven't found the right documentation/tutorials to get started.

Any thoughts/ideas?
 
No, it's a custom log file generated by this application. The output is relatively well-formed, but the tool would need to be flexible (configured via regular expressions) so that I could tailor the log parser to fit this format.
 
I've done what you describe pretty easily in a Perl script to help out some of the guys at work who look at kernel logs for hardware certification.
