How to use xargs to repeat as a loop to grab date string?
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
My goal to find how many requests in 14 days from weblog server. I know to cat a weblog file to wc -l to find the total of all requests have send to server. From there on, I can use a loop of 14 days to go through each line and do comparison with Date String until the string are different I would increment the date until it reach 14th date. I was thinking to seq 14 and xargs commands to go through 14 days cycle.
I would like to know how to do a string compare between date?

Thanks in advance,

Scopiop

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
Code:
192.192.1.1 - - [10/June/2013...]
192.192.1.2 - - [10/June/2013...]
192.192.1.3 - - [11/June/2013..]
192.192.1.4 - - [12/June/2013..]
........

output
Code:
The last 14 day's requests are: 100
