Splunk Search

Does anyone have examples of using RegEx to convert a Syslog event to a delimited string?

I would like to convert a syslog event (no delimiters) to a delimited input at the Universal Forwarder. This would allow for faster searching because I wouldn't have to regex every event at search-time. Can someone point me to a code sample or documentation?

I would not use splunk for this; I would use Syslogng:
