JM 7/4/2009, I just re-write the sample code (which uses COM) included in the LogParser help, to my favourite programming language
package require tcom console show set oLogQuery [::tcom::ref createobject "MSUtil.LogQuery"] set oEVTInputFormat [::tcom::ref createobject "MSUtil.LogQuery.EventLogInputFormat"] $oEVTInputFormat direction "BW" set oCSVOutputFormat [::tcom::ref createobject "MSUtil.LogQuery.CSVOutputFormat"] $oCSVOutputFormat tabs true set strQuery "SELECT TimeGenerated, EventID INTO C:\\output.csv FROM System" append strQuery " WHERE SourceName = 'Application Popup'" $oLogQuery ExecuteBatch $strQuery $oEVTInputFormat $oCSVOutputFormat
after running this example, go and see the contents of file c:\output.csv...
for more information, see LogParser

of course, you have to execute:
C:\LogParser>regsvr32 LogParser.dll
to "register" the LogParser scriptable COM component.
