Hi,
1) Sort the file on 2nd column
2) Using SED select the range of lines using pattern

Code:
sort -k2 filename| sed -n '/05\/Jul\/2010:07:00/,/06\/Jul\/2010:08:00/p'

Hi,

You may want to use the -T <directory> option to force sort to use a scratch directory that has enough free space. By default it uses TMPDIR - usually /tmp or var/tmp.

If you need to sort the file quickly use -y option with no argument for the option. This starts sort with the maximum free memory allowed or available.
Code:
sort -y -T /dir/having/enough_free_space/ -k2 test | sed -n '/05\/Jul\/2010:07:00/,/06\/Jul\/2010:08:00/p'

put, intermixed with formatting commands.  A  formatting  command
is  a  line  containing  the  control character followed by a two

control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed

negative change from the current value.  Initial values for where

  .ix n   Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
