Is there a tool for extracting Adwords search terms from my log files?

I have a bunch of keywords in my list, but I also have a broad match term. Half of my click-throughs are from the broad match term. I would like to find out which keyphrases are being used to trigger the broad term without having to manually search through my log files.

Does anyone know if a tool exists that can do this?

BTW, to take things a step further, it would be really nice to have a tool that I could maintain a list all of the search terms I am already using, then have it output a list of all of the Adwords search terms that are not on that list (thus giving me the key phrases which are triggering the broad term).

You can do this really easily with some simple scripts. Just find a programmer to make what you need. It's not more than an hour or two of work.

Yeah, I attempted this is python, but for a non-programmer like myself it ended up being too time consuming. I suppose I will have to pay someone to do it for me.

Yeah it's really no big thing. I could write a Perl script to parse the search terms out of your log files in about 10 minutes. Any decent programmer can hook you up with that.

Its interesting that there isn't already a known available script for this. In any case, thanks for your advice :)
