regular expression/filters

[Mr. Oberoi]

i have been trying to use a filter to test if the
squid log is in native form or not?
its not working at all the awk command does not
execute the if statement within... i dont know what's
wrong? can some one help!

echo `awk ' { if($0 ~ "%g %e %a %w/%s %b %m %i %u
%h/%d %c")
                (echo "file in native squid format!")
                                                      
                         
                else (echo "not in native form") }
                                                      
                         
                fi
                 {print FNR OFS"," $3 $1 $6 $7} ' 
< $filename > out`
=================================================

Is there any other way i can check the format?
am i on the right track even???
thanks guys
