You could definitely automate this. A bash script could do this for you. You'll probably utilize a couple tools, such as grep, sed (maybe awk). In addition to documentation on those tools, you'll probably benefit from read this[1] bash guide. You could also write this in Python, Perl or Ruby. I don't think I would use Java, that seems a little overkill.
