Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Collecting logs between two time stamps Post 302939822 by Don Cragun on Sunday 29th of March 2015 07:04:16 PM

Most log files have dates and times in monotonically non-decreasing order. Yours does not.
Code:
15:59:07
15:59:08
15:59:0
15:59:08
15:59:07
16:05:07
16:06:010
16:15:07

Most log files have timestamps in a consistent format. Yours does not.
Code:
15:59:0
15:59:08
16:06:010

Assuming that comma and space are field delimiters, is the date field on lines that contain dates always field 9?

Since timestamps aren't in order, how are we supposed to guess what date should apply to a line that does not have a date?

What is supposed to happen to log file lines that do not have a date or timestamp?

What output are you hoping to produce for the sample input you provided?
