Mike, Michael is on the right track, but your script likely can not take the contents of the character field as a command line parameter. (Due to silly little things like hard returns in the field.)
However, your Run Process could be an ARS API client program that logs into the ARS server and retrieves the record/fields contents and writes the file out in what ever format you want. You could choose from the C, Java, ARSPerl, or even a .Net API wrapper to do the job. But it would require some programming. Alternately you could write something that translates the "Log to file" format into the format your after too. That way you could use any language you prefer to do String parsing with. (And, BTW, this kind of thing is exactly why the "Log to file" function exists in the ARS server.)
