Delete records that do not belong to that day

i have a requirement to delete records that do not belong to that day. For example in a file that came on July 31st ,2018 there are records that belong to Aug 1st,2018 as well and I want to find and delete those records. I want to delete anything with 01-Aug-2018. I have several files like that. I need a script that gets the first line second column that is date and add one day to it and delete that record.in this case all 1st Aug records should be deleted. Thank you in advance for your help.

Code:
a,31-Jul-2018 12:00,14
a,31-Jul-2018 12:01,13
a,31-Jul-2018 12:02,15
a,31-Jul-2018 12:03,19
and so on

Syntax
       tbl [files...]

Description
       The  preprocessor  is used for formatting tables for or The input files are copied to the standard output, except for lines between .TS and
       .TE command lines, which are assumed to describe tables and are reformatted.

Options
       -TX     Produces output without fractional line motions.  Use when the destination output device or printer or  post-filter  cannot  handle
	       fractional line motions.

       -ms     Reads in macros prior to table formatting.

       -mm     Reads in the macros prior to table formatting, if your system has the macros installed.

Examples
       As an example, letting 	 represent a tab (which should be typed as a genuine tab) the input

	      .TS
	      c s s
	      c c s
	      c c c
	      l n n.

       yields

		  Household Population
		  Town	       Households
			      Number   Size
	      Bedminster	789    3.26
	      Bernards Twp.    3087    3.74
	      Bernardsville    2018    3.30

	      Bridgewater      7897    3.81
	      Far Hills 	240    3.19

       If  no  arguments are given, reads the standard input, so it may be used as a filter.  When is used with or the command should be first, to
       minimize the volume of data passed through pipes.
