Hi ,
My requirement is that i need to search for a number of strings in a log file and print them with line numbers.The search should be date wise.
The sample log file is :

Now i want to search that string for date Jan 17..How do I extract the contents of Jan 17 using shell script so that i can go ahead with the search ?

Thanks in advance !!

You can grep for "Jan 17".

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply.But this will only give the first line containing Jan 17 from the log file.I need all the lines.

Try awk.

awk '$1==month && $2!=day{f=0}$1==month && $2==day{f=1}f' month=Jan day=17 file

Thanks danmero !!...
Can I pass the month and date as command line argument in this code as i will be using this awk in a shell script.

Hi,
Thanks alot.The Problem is solved now.

This will print below 5 lines of the search.
