If the key(s) are text, then You can use DCL:
open/read/write logname filespec
read/key=mumble/delete logname
close logname

See HELp READ for details.

If the keys are binary, then a program in Your preferred language has to be written, which knows the key values and record definition.

A general program to manipulate (binary) files is DIX on the VMS freeware V8.
