Select text between current date and output to new txt file
Hi guys,
brand new to this thread and very very new to UNIX...so go easy please!
Anyway I have a file that looks like this:
Which will follow this formatting throughout.
The current days entries will start with the date followed by >> and end in <<
What I need to do is select the text between these two "strings" and output it to another file.
What I have tried is
(can't seem to get the date to work but ideally I want this included, but for now I am just trying to figure out something that works.)
The problem with this is I think it starts at the beginning and stops once it has hit the first instance of the two strings.....what I need is the last entered "block" of this text to be selected and output to a file that will be overwritten daily.
Is there any way to do this? I have been googling + searching this site all night but either I can't understand the methods or no-one has had this exact issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
