What should I use to make a log parser?

I wanna make a simple program that will read the log files from scorched earth 3D (as a test, so I can try it again for something much larger), combine the stats (total kills, etc) and display them/possibly output them to a new file.

What langages are best suited for this? I'm already leaning towards C#, but I'm open to suggestions.

Also, note that I want to read already existing logs, not add them as they come up to an already existing database.

Ok, I finally got myself to create a site to post my shit, so I'll be posting shit there. It's a Google Pages site because I'm lazy as fuck and don't have time to write a better one, but it serves the purpose just fine. The stuff you want is "wre, a simple regular expression interface". Hope it's helpful.
