Help with separating syslog messages.

Hello Guys...

I am bit new to shell scripting and was looking for help !!

I have got syslog data on a linux server recording log messages from a device.

I need to seperate the data from log to file so that I can push it excell and get a report from that.

Log is in the format below
"
Nov 16 04:02:05 syslogger syslog: klogd startup succeeded
Nov 16 04:02:05 syslogger syslog: syslogd shutdown succeeded
Nov 16 04:02:08 syslogger crond(pam_unix)[28955]: session closed for user root

User (munsieg) Responder, Inbound SPI = 0x05347b8f, Outbound SPI = 0x9bd2c940"


Is there a way to separate things in bold from the log and push it to a text or excell file ?

Thanks a lot for the help..!!

SYSLOG(8)							  System Logging							 SYSLOG(8)

NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng. But this depends on the software selection during the installation. The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog. The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service. The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons. BUGS
