Thanks - I have what I need for that step in the process.

parse_uri:
   warn set acl_c_parse_lookup = ${sg{$acl_c_parse_uri}{\N .*\s\N}{}}
       set acl_c_parse_lookup = ${sg{$acl_c_parse_lookup}{ }{}}
        set acl_c_parse_uri = ${sg{$acl_c_parse_uri}{\N^.*?\s\N}{}}
        acl = uribl_lookup
#    logwrite = PARSE1 - [$acl_c_parse_lookup]
   warn !condition = ${if eq{$acl_c_parse_uri}{}}
        acl = parse_uri
   accept
