If I understand your problem correctly, you are trying to find all the log entries on a given date for a given user, then send an email to someone (probably yourself) to match all the transactions except Create and Reject.
You're asking specifically about putting the "grep" pipeline in a loop. This is not an especially big problem. Do you want to loop based on entering different user names? Different dates? Both? This simplest method is something like this (using /bin/sh):
(You probably want to put your prompts in as well --- this is just to show the general method.)
Then when you've run the program and for all the dates and userids, just hit control-C to break out of the loop.

Hello -
I am running a script that is outputting to a log. Let call it output.log
I would like to monitor that log until the line "Build Successful" is found.
I think I would need to use the grep command.
How would I do that in a loop?
Thanks

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
