Your script is set up to trace its activity while it is running. If you show us that trace output, we'll have a much better chance of understanding what you're talking about.
You have shown us that you are trying to extract data from seven vertical bar separated fields in your input file, but the sample input file you have shown us never has more than one vertical bar. So, fields 3 through 7 must always be empty.
About all I can say that could be done to solve your problem with what you have shown us would be to rewrite your script to extract data from you input file in a way that matches the format of the data you are processing.

xentrace_format
XENTRACE_FORMAT(1) General Commands Manual XENTRACE_FORMAT(1)
NAME
xentrace_format - pretty-print Xen trace data
SYNOPSIS
xentrace_format [ DEFS-FILE ]
DESCRIPTION
xentrace_format parses trace data in xentrace binary format from standard input and reformats it according to the rules in a file of defi-
nitions (DEFS-FILE), printing to standard output.
The rules in DEFS-FILE should have the format shown below:
event_id whitespace format
Each rule should start on a new line.
The format string may include format specifiers, such as: %(cpu)d, %(tsc)d, %(event)d, %(1)d, %(2)d, %(3)d, %(4)d, %(5)d
[ the `d' format specifier output in decimal, alternatively `x'
will output in hexadecimal and `o' will output in octal ]
These correspond to the CPU number, event ID, timestamp counter and the 5 data fields from the trace record. There should be one such rule
for each type of event to be pretty-printed (events which do not have formatting rules are ignored).
A sample format file for Xen's predefined trace events is available in the file tools/xentrace/formats in the Xen source tree.
Depending on your system and the rate at which trace data is produced, this script may not be able to keep up with the output of xentrace
if it is piped directly. In these circumstances you should have xentrace output to a file for processing off-line.
