Find Processes that were not started today

Hi all I'm trying to find a one line command that would show me all columns of the ps -ef command for all the processes started by our id that weren't started today, so where column 5 is non-numeric. I get the results I need by running three commands but was wondering if there is a way to print these with a one-line command.

First command ( prints all processes started by testid and sorts by the time column and stores in test1.txt)
Code:
ps -ef | grep testid | sort -k5 > test1.txt

Second command ( prints the 5th column only for all processes started by testid and sorts by the time column and stores in test2.txt)
Code:
ps -ef | grep testid | sort -k5 | awk '{print $5}' | grep -v [0123456789] > test2.txt

Third command ( grep test1.txt for the lines in test2.txt)
Code:
grep -f test2.txt test1.txt

I'm thinking there is a way to do this all in one command but can't figure it out

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
