Just operate on $0 all the time. $0 is the entire input line in awk, $1 $2 $3 etc is split into individual fields (on whitespace by default).
The offsets in your latest example don't match what was posted before; do you have multiple adjacent spaces there? Please use code tags when posting material where spaces are significant.
The vi tip also works; you can use sed instead of vi, although the regular expressions would be getting rather clumsy.

ausearch_add_timestamp_item
AUSEARCH_ADD_TIMESTAMP_ITEM(3) Linux Audit API AUSEARCH_ADD_TIMESTAMP_ITEM(3)NAME
ausearch_add_timestamp_item - build up search rule
SYNOPSIS
#include <auparse.h>
int ausearch_add_timestamp_item(auparse_state_t *au, const char *op, time_t sec, unsigned milli, ausearch_rule_t how)
DESCRIPTION
ausearch_add_timestamp_item adds an event time condition to the current audit search expression. The search conditions can then be used to
scan logs, files, or buffers for something of interest. The op parameter specifies the desired comparison. Legal op values are <, <=, >=, >
and =. The left operand of the comparison operator is the timestamp of the examined event, the right operand is specified by the sec and
milli parameters.
The how value determines how this search condition will affect the existing search expression if one is already defined. The possible val-
ues are:
AUSEARCH_RULE_CLEAR
Clear the current search expression, if any, and use only this search condition.
AUSEARCH_RULE_OR
If a search expression E is already configured, replace it by (E || this_search_condition).
AUSEARCH_RULE_AND
If a search expression E is already configured, replace it by (E && this_search_condition).
RETURN VALUE
Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.
APPLICATION USAGE
Use ausearch_add_item(3) and ausearch_add_interpreted_item(3) to add conditions that check audit record fields. Use ausearch_add_expres-
sion(3) to add complex search expressions using a single function call.
SEE ALSO ausearch_add_expression(3), ausearch_add_item(3), ausearch_add_interpreted_item(3), ausearch_add_regex(3), ausearch_set_stop(3), ause-
arch_clear(3), ausearch_next_event(3), ausearch-expression(5).
