Here is a shell script that simply splits on the hour (00...23):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
split_to(){
  prev=""
  read header
  while IFS=" :" read date hour rest
  do
    case $hour in
    ([0-9][0-9])
      if [ "$hour" != "$prev" ]
      then
        exec >"$hour.$1"
        prev=$hour
        echo "$header"
      fi
      echo "${date} ${hour}:${rest}"
    ;;
    esac
  done
}

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
  split_to out
fi
for arg
do
  split_to "$arg" < "$arg"
done

Run with /path/to/scriptname filename to get 00.filename ... 23.filename
or with /path/to/scriptname < filename to get 00.out ... 23.out
