Is that what the data looks like, or are the lines actually really long?

Will the process name always be NEWOLUF2?

Here's what I have so far, assuming the long lines were wrapped accidentally. It's much, much, much easier to write when you know what you're supposed to be operating on Smilie

Code:
$ cat begintrans.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
	char buf[16384];

	int transcount=0, elapsetotal=0;

	while(!feof(stdin))
	{
		int newoluf=0, elapsetime=-1;
		char timestamp[64]={0};

		buf[0]='\0';	// Blank out buffer

		while(strcmp(buf, "BEGINTRANS\n") != 0)	// look for BEGINTRANS
		if(fgets(buf, 16384, stdin) == NULL)
			break;	// EOF

		if(feof(stdin)) break;

		while(strcmp(buf, "ENDTRANS\n") != 0)	// Look for ENDTRANS
		{
			const char *tsstr;
			if(fgets(buf, 16384, stdin) == NULL)
				break;

			if(strstr(buf, "NEWOLUF2") != NULL)
				newoluf=1;

			if(tsstr=strstr(buf, "Timestamp"))
				sscanf(tsstr, "Timestamp <%[^>]>", timestamp);

			if(strncmp(buf, "ElapseTime", 10) == 0)
				sscanf(buf, "ElapseTime <%d>", &elapsetime);
		}

		if((elapsetime>=0) && (timestamp[0]))
		{
			transcount++;
			elapsetotal += elapsetime;
			printf("trans %d, elapsetime %d, timestamp %s\n",
				transcount, elapsetime, timestamp);
		}
	}

	printf("Average elapsetime is %d\n", elapsetotal / transcount);
	return(0);
}
$ gcc begintrans.c -o begintrans
$ ./begintrans < data
trans 1, elapsetime 745, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-37
trans 2, elapsetime 765, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-37
trans 3, elapsetime 579, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-37
trans 4, elapsetime 356, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-38
trans 5, elapsetime 651, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-41
trans 6, elapsetime 292, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-42
trans 7, elapsetime 345, timestamp 14Sep1111-07-52
Average elapsetime is 533
