Logs in table form

[sardaa]

I need to list the logs in table form, where I can sort the list by paths, filenames etc.
That could be a great way to review the error messages and quickly ignore those that are not important. For example there are many files under C:\Windows that are not readable by the program at run time. With a sorted tabular list, I could browse them one after the other and I can disregard them all quickly; then I can jump to the next problematic issue.
For example Microsoft's SyncToy gives such a list of errors at the end of each run.

In the FFS options (FFS main menu / Tools / Options) you can not only choose the location, but also the format of you log-files (HTML or plain text) you can select whichever suits you best and import the log file e.g. in Excel. There you can convert/divide data into columns and sort according to need.

Unfortunately that text file is almost useless. It is not like a standard comma delimited file to be opened. It's almost impossible to handle.
Other sync programs show this log in tabular form and allow for sorting within the program. This is a feature that needs to be added.

I took a quick look yesterday & using a grep it was easy enough to find "strings", like "Error:", but I don't know that the found data is particularly useful as (at least in .txt output) more pertinent data is found on following lines.

And in order to parse it, better, not sure just what to use offhand?
Maybe sed or Vim or ?
