Hi All,
Thanks for your inputs. I forgot to mention in my original post that *USE*
existing built-in utility in WINDOWS 2000 server. No tech-net
patches/resource or download from internet tobe used.
U know how its like in the real lab - no internet, no software in ur
pocket...

Douglas, eventvwr can't see the .txt file. Cisco call manager dumps all
traces/logs as a .txt file format....

Looking something like findstr command.... but i don't know how to explore
built-in command.

There are 1000 other 3rd party utility which does the same job.

C:\Program Files>findstr /?
Searches for strings in files.
FINDSTR [/B] [/E] [/L] [/R] [/S] [/I] [/X] [/V] [/N] [/M] [/O] [/P]
[/F:file]
        [/C:string] [/G:file] [/D:dir list] [/A:color attributes]
[/OFF[LINE]]
        strings [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]
  /B Matches pattern if at the beginning of a line.
  /E Matches pattern if at the end of a line.
  /L Uses search strings literally.
  /R Uses search strings as regular expressions.
  /S Searches for matching files in the current directory and all
             subdirectories.
  /I Specifies that the search is not to be case-sensitive.
  /X Prints lines that match exactly.
  /V Prints only lines that do not contain a match.
  /N Prints the line number before each line that matches.
  /M Prints only the filename if a file contains a match.
  /O Prints character offset before each matching line.
  /P Skip files with non-printable characters.
  /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.
  /A:attr Specifies color attribute with two hex digits. See "color /?"
  /F:file Reads file list from the specified file(/ stands for console).
  /C:string Uses specified string as a literal search string.
  /G:file Gets search strings from the specified file(/ stands for
console).
  /D:dir Search a semicolon delimited list of directories
  strings Text to be searched for.
  [drive:][path]filename
             Specifies a file or files to search.
Use spaces to separate multiple search strings unless the argument is
prefixed
with /C. For example, 'FINDSTR "hello there" x.y' searches for "hello" or
"there" in file x.y. 'FINDSTR /C:"hello there" x.y' searches for
"hello there" in file x.y.
Regular expression quick reference:
  . Wildcard: any character
  * Repeat: zero or more occurances of previous character or class
  ^ Line position: beginning of line
  $ Line position: end of line
  [class] Character class: any one character in set
  [^class] Inverse class: any one character not in set
  [x-y] Range: any characters within the specified range
  \x Escape: literal use of metacharacter x
  \<xyz Word position: beginning of word
  xyz\> Word position: end of word
