Question Strip timestamps from logs using sed?

Hullo. I have a log file:

Code:
(I) 02/03/2009 12:31:01 [12345] : Service Started
(I) 02/03/2009 12:31:02 [12345] : XML:
<xml>
   <stuff>
   ...
</xml>
(I) 02/03/2009 12:31:02 [12345] : Service Stoped
...

...and I would like to remove date/time/PID-stamps so I can create a baseline for future comparisson. Ideal output:

Code:
(I) [DATE] [TIME] [PID] : Service Started
(I) [DATE] [TIME] [PID] : XML:
<xml>
   <stuff>
   ...
</xml>
(I) [DATE] [TIME] [PID] : Service Stoped

I guess psuedocode would be as follows:

Code:
For each line that starts with a "(", replace characters 5-23 with "[DATE] [TIME]", and replace "['one or more numbers']" with "[PID]". Print all other lines as is.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance Smilie
