Newbie to HP Unix
Hi
Im a newbie to unix having been a windows guy, yes I know a swear word on here ? but part of my new job is to be trained up on Unix.
On the course we were set a task to read a file that has dates times codes etc, a log file. see below as an example
2007/02/19 00:00:06: Information: Switch SDT for out stream 510
2007/02/19 01:00:00: Information: Switch SDT for out stream 510
2007/02/19 01:59:00: Information: Switch SDT for out stream 510
My task is to look through this file and display the output for a start time and end time ?
so eg start time is 01:00:00 and end time 05:00:00
My question is how do you do this and what if the first time is 01:01:00, how do you search for this ?
My code so far is this
#! /bin/sh
rm temp.log
clear
echo "Please enter word to search for : "
read searchstring
echo "Please enter outstream to search for : "
read outstream
echo "Switch or Build : "
read switchorread
echo "Please enter search date : (yyyy/mm/dd) "
read searchdate
echo "Please enter start time : (hh:mm:ss) "
read starttime
echo "Please enter end time : (hh:mm:ss) "
read endtime
echo $searchstring $outstream $switchorread $searchdate $starttime $endtime
cat /users/duncan/shepd/xsg.log|grep -i $searchstring|grep $outstream|grep -i $switchorread|grep $searchdate >temp.log
The expamle at the top is the out put for temp.log
How can I search temp.log for a set time and end time and out put this this to screen or a file ?
Any help in point me to the right commands, rather then telling me what code I should write, Id appricate it
thanks

datetime.settimestamp
DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3) 1 DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3)
DateTime::setTimestamp - Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public DateTime DateTime::setTimestamp (int $unixtimestamp)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
DateTime date_timestamp_set (DateTime $object, int $unixtimestamp)
Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp.
PARAMETERS
o $object
-Procedural style only: A DateTime object returned by date_create(3). The function modifies this object.
o $unixtimestamp
- Unix timestamp representing the date.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the DateTime object for method chaining or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$date = date_create();
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
NOTES
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
