Thanks dude, i should have thought of double awk matching. I was thinking it was way more complicated.

I suppose it will get more complicated if the hour actualy doesnt exist as a string in the file though.

e.g From my sample text above if i wanted to search for events between 03-Feb-2010 12:00 and 04-Feb-2010 18:00 the awks wouldn't have anything to match.

Is there such thing as :

Code:
awk '/03-Feb-2010 <anything from 12 or after>/,/04-Feb-2010 <anything before 18:00>/ {print}'

Cheers
