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:
Code:
>>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date/Time/Eng. : 2012-06-22 / 00:26 / DS
Reported problem : (SD)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
Code:
sed -n '/>>/,/<</p' log.doc > outputfile.doc
(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!

time::duration::parse
Time::Duration::Parse(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Time::Duration::Parse(3pm)NAME
Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Duration::Parse;
my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
DESCRIPTION
Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.
It does the opposite of duration_exact function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.
use Time::Duration::Parse;
use Time::Duration;
my $seconds = int rand 100000;
is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
FUNCTIONS
parse_duration
$seconds = parse_duration($string);
Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies an exception saying "Unknown
timespec: blah blah blah". This function is exported by default.
