CONDITIONS
---------------
values from columns 2 to 5 of a raw of fileA is exactly the same as fileB
if the above condition met, then
6th & 7th columns (date & time) of each raw of fileA is higher than fileB
if both the above conditions met, put the entries of fileB which matches, on a new file fileC
if any of the above conditions are not meeting, then put those unmatching entries of fileA on new file fileD

Note :- each raw of fileA need to be compared with all the raws in fileB


Example :-
------------
take first line of fileA and check for any entries in fileB which matches from column 2 to 5. If matches, then go to next condition
from the matching entries, check that 6th & 7th column value of fileB is higher than fileA
if both above conditions met, save those matching entries on a new file fileD
if any of the above conditions not met, save those unmatching entries of fileA on fileD

hope this helps..

DP(8)								     [nmh-1.5]								     DP(8)

NAME
dp - parse dates 822-style SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/dp [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-width columns] [-version] [-help] dates ... DESCRIPTION
Dp is a program that parses dates according to the ARPA Internet standard. It also understands many non-standard formats, such as those produced by TOPS-20 sites and some UNIX sites using ctime(3). It is useful for seeing how nmh will interpret a date. The dp program treats each argument as a single date, and prints the date out in the official 822-format. Hence, it is usually best to enclose each argument in quotes for the shell. To override the output format used by dp, the -format string or -format file switches are used. This permits individual fields of the address to be extracted with ease. The string is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file. See mh-format(5) for the details. Here is the default format string used by dp: %<(nodate{text})error: %{text}%|%(putstr(pretty{text}))%> which says that if an error was detected, print the error, a `:', and the date in error. Otherwise, output the 822-proper format of the date. FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile PROFILE COMPONENTS
None SEE ALSO
ap(8), Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages (RFC-822) DEFAULTS
`-format' default as described above `-width' default to the width of the terminal CONTEXT
None BUGS
The argument to the -format switch must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes dp. Therefore, one must usually place the argument to this switch inside quotes. MH.6.8 11 June 2012 DP(8)
