To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
  1. Use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code.
    You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
  2. Avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts.
    Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
  3. Be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Is there any easy way to remove the [] from the timestamp, convert it to time and change the , to ; .... as you can see I am not that good at awk; so any advise is highly appreciated, to avoid piping commands.
Look like you are walking backward.
First you generate a file and now you try to fixit. Maybe you should generate the original file the way you like it from the beginning?
