in reply to Cisco Log Files: broken REGEX

One technique I use in debugging long regexes like yours is the build the regex step-by-step, and test the regex after each step. So, in your example, start with the regex that matches the date, run that against your data and see whether it matches. If that's ok, extend the regex with the time, run it again against the data, then add the thing between brackets, etc, etc.
