The following code should display all the lines relating to a date that match $TODAY or $YESTERDAY (also all the subsequent lines relating to those matching dates (not only the 5 first))

Code:
awk -v T="$TODAY" -v Y="$YESTERDAY" '/^..\/..\/../{x=$1}x==T||x==Y' yourfile.log

The code is perfect now

Can you guide me regarding how to get the next few lines attached to this date string (suppose 4 lines)

Doesn't that code already get them ?

(I meanwhile fixed my code replacing $1==T||$1==Y with x==T||x==Y )
