Old 08-14-2014
Thank you everyone for your helpful posts! I used Don's code within a Kornshell Script (and I even got a loop of a List File of File Names to process multiple Raw files and parse them to Parsed Files to work!), and it did exactly what I needed it to do!

Here's the code I ran (Cognos_Audit_Log_File_List.lst file was pre-built earlier in the Script):

Code:
while read FILE
do
echo "$FILE" >> ${LOG_FILE}
awk '
cnt { out = out $0
 if(--cnt == 0) {
  gsub("\r", "", out)
  print out "\r"
 }
 next
}
substr($0, 29, 6) == "client" {
 cnt = 2
 out = $0
}' ${SOURCE_DIR}/$FILE > ${TARGET_DIR}/$FILE
done < Cognos_Audit_Log_File_List.lst

log::agent::tag::priority

Agent::Tag::Priority(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Agent::Tag::Priority(3pm)

NAME

       Log::Agent::Tag::Priority - a log priority tag string

SYNOPSIS

	Not intended to be used directly
	Inherits from Log::Agent::Tag.

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a log priority tag string.

CREATION ROUTINE PARAMETERS

       The following parameters are defined, in alphabetical order:

       "-display" => string
	   Specifies the priority/level string to display, with minimal variable substitution.	For instance:

	    -display => '[$priority/$level]'

	   The defined variables are documented in the DISPLAY VARIABLES section underneath.

       "-level" => level
	   This parameter is internally added by "Log::Agent" when computing the priority tag, since only it knows the level of the current
	   messsage.

       "-postfix" => flag
	   Whether tag should be placed after or before the log message.  By default, it is prepended to the log message, i.e. this parameter is
	   false.

       "-priority" => prio
	   This parameter is internally added by "Log::Agent" when computing the priority tag, since only it knows the priority of the current
	   messsage.

       "-separator" => string
	   The separation string between the tag and the log message.  A single space by default.

DISPLAY VARIABLES

       The "-display" switch understands a few variables that can be substituted in the supplied string.  Both $var and "${var}" forms are
       supported.  Unknown variables are left untouched.

       $priority
	   The full priority name of the logged message, e.g. "warning" or "error".

       $level
	   The associated priority level of the logged message, a number.  For instance, the level associated to "warning" is 4.  See
	   Log::Agent::Priorities for the default name -> level mapping.
