Sed to parse log file
Hi all, thanks for reading the post.

I'm trying to parse hundreds of log files in a directory. One log file looks similar to below:

Code:
Investigator  : Jim_Foo
Custodian     : Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234
Export Path   : N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo
Compute MD5   : No
File List Only: No
Extensions Selected:
     DOC
     DOCX
     EML
     MSG
     OST
     PDF
     PPT
     PPTX
     PST
     XLS
     XLSX
     XLSM
     ZIP
     REP

Matched File : foo_file1.pdf
Match Type   : File Extension Match
File Number  : 0
File Size    : 640
MD5 Hash     : 'Compute MD5 Hash' not selected
MAC Times    : M=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  A=02/01/12 09:59:49AM  C=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf

Matched File : foo_file2.pdf
Match Type   : File Extension Match
File Number  : 0
File Size    : 123
MD5 Hash     : 'Compute MD5 Hash' not selected
MAC Times    : M=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  A=02/01/12 09:59:49AM  C=09/27/10 02:05:26PM  
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf

I would like to search for strings with sed and put the results into a csv. I can search for the right patterns, but I'm having trouble printing it correctly.

Code:
$ sed -e '/Custodian/b' -e '/Matched File/b' -e '/File Size/b' -e '/Original Path/b' -e d *

Custodian : Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234
Export Path : N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo
Matched File : foo_file1.pdf
File Size : 640
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file1.pdf
Matched File : foo_file2.pdf
File Size : 123
Original Path: foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf[/CODE]

CSV needs to look something like this:
Code:
Custodian,Export Path,Matched File,File Size,Original Path
Custodian,Export Path,Matched File,File Size,Original Path

Code:
"Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234","N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo","foo_file1.pdf","640","foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file1.pdf"
"Jim_Foo-HDD1-FOO-1234","N:\FOO-1234\Foo_Foo","foo_file2.pdf","123","foopath\foopath\foopath\foobar\foo_file.pdf"

       Under normal usage, prints the last count entries in the log file.  When one of the options is specified, prints  the  last  count  entries
       that match the specified criteria.  If count is not specified, it defaults to 1.

   Options

		      will only print the last count entries that match the specified criteria.

       will print only log file entries describing changes to the saved

		      saved or running kernel configuration.

WARNINGS

       The format of the log file may be changed without notice.

       Some configuration changes can be made without using the kernel configuration commands.	No log file entries are made for such changes.

       The log file should not be manually edited.  Doing so may cause to behave unpredictably.
