Script for parsing details in a log file to a seperate file

thanks,
as you said, yes i can cron, but my tricky thing is to know the directory as well i.e
/usr/fl/log/*....something...*/console.txt
here both the * are the variables that may change any time nather created when the other application is invoked.
Im good at troubleshooting, but new to scripting, so i think im explaining in a better way.
so the task would also involve finding the newly created directory on a periodic basis and the browse the console.txt file, then grep the particular line that has been there and then touch that to the file.
for fine tuning i think i should try to add the time when the directory was created in the new log file, so that i get a proper history after a due course of time..............
thanks in advance pals............. see u soon

grokevt-addlog
grokevt-addlog(1) grokevt-addlog(1) NAME
grokevt-addlog - A tool for adding a raw event log to an existing GrokEVT database. SYNOPSIS
grokevt-addlog database-dir evt-file new-type base-type .SH DESCRIPTION grokevt-addlog takes a raw event log (.evt file) and adds it to a pre-built database generated by grokevt-builddb(1). This new log file will be set up to use the message templates of another log, as deter- mined by the user. This tool is primarily useful for processing deleted logs and log fragments found on a system. While it is possible to use the database generated from one system with the logs of another, this is not recommended for investigations unless no alternatives exist. ARGUMENTS
grokevt-addlog uses the following arguments: database-dir The base directory for the database generated previously by grokevt-builddb(1). evt-file The file to be added to the database. new-type The new log type/name that evt-file will take on. This is the name that will need to be used later with grokevt-parselog(1) to access the new log. This type must not already exist in the database. base-type The existing log type that this new log will be based on. The message templates from this type will be used with the new log when parsing. This type must exist in the current database. BUGS
Probably several. This particular script has not been extensively tested. CREDITS
