Apr 7, 2016 at 16:55 comment added Mike @MelBursian Thanks for the response. I am not knowledgeable enough to be able to convert your guidance into a workable command. Everything I tried had $1 either a date, or for lines without a date, a string. That made me lost as to how to proceed.
Apr 7, 2016 at 16:33 comment added Mike @KM, the only compact example at unix.stackexchange.com/a/123983/4252 does not include any line that do not include a date. I need those lines.

Apr 7, 2016 at 14:52 comment added MelBurslan The length of the date and time strings are looking very uniform to me. You can extract both with a simple cut command or $1 in awk replaces the actual date and $2 the actual time. In short, you don't need square brackets. The post you linked is a common case but not necessarily the norm.
Apr 7, 2016 at 14:52 comment added KM. There is an example extraction for data "without [] braces" in the answer you referenced: unix.stackexchange.com/a/123983/4252
