zedex · #1 (**permalink**) 11-22-2007

hi all
i have a file in which first column has date in (yyyy-mm-dd) format and rest of the column has file information.
i want to write a program in such way that when i specify date i will get entries from that date till end of file.and there can be more than one entries for particular date.

in short i want to split file in 2 parts one part will have entries till date i have mentioned ( without date i have mentioned ) and other will have all entries from date i have mentioned till end of file. i am writing code in perl/shell script.

i am not getting how to do this till now..please suggest how this can be done ??
