I am trying to read in a log file on the fly. I need to buffer about 50 lines and match data in the log and perform an operation based up that match. Here is a sample transaction from the logfile. 
==============================================

I basically have to look at the call init, and see if the channel type is TCH, when I see that I look for the Call Response with the same transaction ID, then I output the px, py to another file, or a c program. If the call init channel type is something else, I do nothing. Any ideas? Thanks! Josh
