How to extract start/end times from log file to CSV file?
Hi,

I have a log file (log.txt) that which contains lines of date/time.
I need to create a script to extract a CSV file (out.csv) that gets all the sequential times (with only 1 minute difference) together by stating the start time and end time of this period.


Sample log file (log.txt)
Code:
14-11-2014 05:23
14-11-2014 05:24
14-11-2014 05:25
14-11-2014 05:26
16-11-2014 13:01
16-11-2014 13:02
16-11-2014 13:03
23-11-2014 03:00
23-11-2014 05:24
23-11-2014 05:25

The CSV out file should look something like the below:
Code:
14-11-2014 05:23,14-11-2014 05:26,4
16-11-2014 13:01,16-11-2014 13:03,3
23-11-2014 03:00,23-11-2014 03:00,1
23-11-2014 05:24,23-11-2014 05:25,2

The first column of each line is the start time, the second column is the end time, and the third column is the number of minutes between the start and end times.

Would you please help me in this?

Thanks in advance.
