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::callback

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

NAME

       Log::Agent::Tag::Callback - a dynamic tag string

SYNOPSIS

	require Log::Agent::Tag::Callback;
	# Inherits from Log::Agent::Tag.

	my $tag = Log::Agent::Tag::Callback->make(
	    -name      => "session id",
	    -callback  => Callback->new($obj, 'method', @args),
	    -postfix   => 1,
	    -separator => " -- ",
	);

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a dynamic tag string, whose value is determined by invoking a pre-determined callback, which is described by a
       "Callback" object.

       You need to make your application depend on the "Callback" module from CPAN if you make use of this tagging feature, since "Log::Agent"
       does not depend on it, on purpose (it does not really use it, it only offers an interface to plug it in).  At least version 1.02 must be
       used.

CREATION ROUTINE PARAMETERS

       The following parameters are defined, in alphabetical order:

       "-callback" => "Callback" object
	   The callback to invoke to determine the value of the tag.  The call is protected via a busy flag, in case there is an unwanted
	   recursion due to a call to one of the logging routines whilst within the callback.

	   If the callback is busy, the tag emitted is:

	       callback "user" busy

	   assuming "user" is the name you supplied via "-name" for this tag.

       "-name" => name
	   The name of this tag.  Used to flag a callback as busy in case there is an unwanted recursion into the callback routine.

       "-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.

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