Exactly. You've got (at least) two options here - get the field relative to line end (= NF), if that is constant, or, if the file has a constant number of comma separated fields, use only comma as FS, and then split the field with the time data in it.

Could I just remove all "spaces" from the file? Then run the awk command? Using the [,] as field separator?

Try
Code:
awk -F"[, ]" '{print $(NF-3)}' file

or
Code:
awk -F, '{n=split ($6, T, " "); print T[2]}' file

They both did the same thing they listed the letter after the number in the 6th column. Sorry but Im not sure how I would be able to use this?

Didn't you WANT the letter after the number to find out if it's days, hours, or minutes?

I do but I want to be able to sort off the number of d(ays). So if something is older than 14 days I can get back just the lines that are >=14 in that column.

Use $(NF-4), or T[1], then.
