The numbers after MSG and before the dot (i.e. 997936971, 996698372 and 975960863) is a UNIX timestamp which means, if 
I've understood this correctly, that you have to know exactly when a message has arrived. I dont't know about the 
number after the dot, but it may be the number of the message received at that exact second.

Even if you have a scanner, wouldn't it be thousands of messages to scan even if you knew which minute a message has 
arrived?
