[MilCom] Military Aircraft Master List of ADS B Mode S/Methods to Extract Information?

When I post my weekly lists of ADS loggings, basically I am manually 
searching the log (asc format) for each day using Note Pad with the 
search term "AE" which seems to find most of the US military aircraft.  
HOWEVER, today while monitoring the scanner & Mode S, I noticed there 
was an AA prefix for a US Army C12 aircraft flying high above that 
likely I would have missed.  What tipped me off to the potential 
military aspect was the registration number 10-XXXX which is different 
than what most aircraft are displaying.

After I extract the information I go to http://live-military-mode-s.eu/  
and manually search for complete information on the ICAO mode S ID, than 
place it in the email log.

I've also used open office spreadsheet to sort the data by the ICAO 
mode, than registration.   Due to some aircraft showing actually 
location data, columns after the "Flight ID" may not be in a straight 
column.

So does anyone in the group have some suggestions on how to speed up 
this process?   I would prefer not to automatically send information 
anywhere (via upload) but IF I were able to upload manually than get a 
report back I may have an interesting in this.

Thanks!
