  You are asking for design assistance. Technical forums are not free consulting.  Start by attempting to write your script and post the script with a specific question.

  Text parsing is a very complex area.  There is really no way to guess at a generic solution for your issue.  It is totally dependent on the overall file structure.

  Here is a blog on one way of parsing complex content.

  Select-String -Path file.log -SimpleMatch "/007f02ba4d4a2764/" -Context 2, 3 | 
      foreach {
          if($_.Context.PreContext[0] -match "EventReleased") {
              $_.Context.PreContext
              $_.Line
              $_.Context.PostContext
          }
      }

  Assuming the string /007f02ba4d4a2764/ only occur once in your log file, the above code should work in PowerShell 3 and later.

  You can load the text with "Get-Content -Raw" (the "-Raw" switch loads the text with linebreaks, without splitting it into an array) and use multiline regular expressions.
