I made a little proggie to avoid piping awk or perl or any other reporting 
languge...  Right now it uses this format: 

rulenum [packets:bytes] 

this format is for my own application, but you can modify the printf to 
report whatever you need with whatever separator you want, or even add 
another param to accept the rule number and get statistics of the desired 
rule. This can be adapted to mrtg so it will run faster without perl 
invocation. 

I attach the code.
