How can i grep for an hour before data

Hi,

My log file is something like this.

Code:
(08/04/2009 00:27:42.179)(:)  aaaaaaaaaaaa
(08/04/2009 00:27:42.181)(:)  bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
(08/04/2009 01:00:42.713)(:)  cd cdc d ddddsksjdkssksksj
(08/04/2009 01:02:42.716)(:)  raarrarararararara
(08/04/2009 01:07:43.036)(:ERROR)  Port ddedededetails
(08/04/2009 01:08:43.039)(:)  No data found

Suppose current time is 08/04/2009 01:10:45
I wanto to grep for the data last hour data. Currently for getting today's data i am using
Code:
`date '+ %m/%d'`

Can someone help me with the modification of this command to get the previous hour data?

Id recommend using this as a script:

The only catch is if it happens to be between midnight and 01:00 this won't work. If you need this functionality let me know and I'll see if I can figure something out.

bash code:
Code:
bash-3.00$ genexpression()
> {
> stime=`date '+ %H'`
> stime=`expr $stime \- 1`
> if (( $stime < 10 ))
> then
> stime=0${stime}
> fi
> express=\$\\\(`date '+%m/%d/%Y'`\ $stime
> }
bash-3.00$ genexpression
bash-3.00$ egrep "$express" testfile

Now that I think about it you can probably replace the while thing with this if you manually typing in the time is ok:

Code:
> express=\$\\\(`date '+%m/%d/%Y'`\ "hour you want to filter"

i can't add that manually ..need to cron the script

And the $express from the above script seems to be returing null.

in the last line try:

Code:
export express=\$\\\(`date '+%m/%d/%Y'`\ $stime

the result is not showing the 0 before the hrs. I mean it is coming as 08/03/2009 9 instead of 08/03/2009 09
Please help.
