Selecting certain times from a list
Hi all,

I have a list of times:
Code:
...10:02
15:34
20:05
01:51
06:55
09:00
05:52...

That's just part of the list (its huge).

How do I go about selecting certain times, e.g. just between 23:00 and 05:00 ??

Code:
awk -F: '$1 < 5 || $1 > 22' huge.file

Sorry, it was late last night, and I wasn't being very clear. (I actually posted the entire wrong situation).

In that file there is a column with a list of times (as above), and various other columns, username, ipaddress etc... (example below)

Code:
... USER1 10:58 10.0.0.5 BASH
USER2 21:55 10.0.0.85 BASH...

so on and so forth... I only want to show the lines with a time greater than 22:00 (i.e. 22:00 - 23:59) and less than 05:00 (i.e. 00:00 - 05:00).

Hope this makes it clearer

how do you know that 00:00 to 05:00 is the time next day or the time that is today? does your file have the date as well??
