Hi All,

I am a java devloper putting my hands on shell scripts.

Honestly it sounds coool and interesting

Presently I got stuck with the following requirement.

Get the messages from file. The messages in the file are as follows:

date|message1
date|message2
.
.
.

date is of format: yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm (for eg 2007-06-29-05-58)

Wht I need is get all the messages with in the range.

I have tried with sed as below:
sed -n "/2007-06-29-05-58/,/2007-06-29-09-25/p" file1.txt

but I wont get all the output required. Is there anything wrg in my approach to retreive messages.

Any help is Greatly Aappreciated !!!
Thanks is Andvance.

Cheers,
Ambha
