I don't thik so, but if it's always in the same place in the string, you
can use substring() to select the pieces before and after the 'DSL'.
I've attached my log statement and its output as an example.

Assuming you're using Occam/Calix B6, I tried years ago (before the
buyout) and didn't get far.  I've got lots of active FTTx as well, and
it prefixes 'Ethernet' on those so I've got another log statement to
re-format those.
