for using split, try to remove the ( ) since you will not be needing $1
through $9. I suspect because you have many ( ) in there, this might
cause a problem. I also gather that you are trying not to really split,
but to pattern match, in which case you can only have from $1-$9 (i
belive that is correct, however i could have have misread).
Do try to consolodate your ( ), and not use it for sections that you do
not need it.
combine the time and date into one ( ), you can parse that later need
be. You don't need -offset do you? if you do, then put that into the
time as well. After you've combined the ( ) as best you can, perhaps it
will work.
you might also consider using the *? (look forward/look back) method of
doing things.
for instance \"(.*)?\" will match "METHID URI HTTP/1.x" (without quotes
of course). That should help you a bit.
