Thanks Risto for the clarification of the types of variables that can be used.
The scripts need to compute the time elapse between a timestamp captured
earlier (stored in $+{varname}) and a new timestamp extracted from the new
matching pattern and stored in $1. If the time elapsed is less than n seconds I
would like to execute action; otherwise, execute action2.
Hope it makes sense.
Regards,
Rafael
