[dba-SQLServer]Querying on SQL trace log tables

I'm trying to query on the query data provided by a SQL Trace, but SQL Trace
saves this data as an nText field.  Specifically, I'm monitoring the usage
of an application, and am trying to pull out relevant join and where clause
statements from the SQL which is hitting the database.

So far, all attempts to change to a varchar and pull out information have
failed or met with unexpected results.  I've used CAST and CONVERT, combined
with LEFT and RIGHT functions to pull data between keywords, but at best
I'll pull data from a different part of the statement.

Any ideas?
