save event log - schedule task

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to schedule a task to save the event logs
(application, security, system) as a .csv file. I know this is easy to do
manually....event viewer, right click on the log, save as...) but I want it
all automated...a batch file would be ideal, or even just a command line
utility to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated.
