Hello poj,

Although the script works nicely I tested it with the complete log file and unfortunately it does not parse the file as I would expect the output to be.

Sample of output:

I need to work with the regex that I have at the beginning, this is the closest solution that I have got to my problem.

Update: Inserting  <readmore> </readmore> tags to minimize space consumed.

Thank you for your time and effort reading and replying to my question.
