Below code could help but only where there are 2 time stamps in the inputfile

Code:
sed -n '/\([0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] [0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]\)/,/1/p' inputfile

MySQL grep content between timestamp
Code:
#!/bin/sh
sed -n '/[0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/p' time.txt | sed -e 's/ /./' -e 's/\//./g' > time_stamps.txt
last_time_stamp=`sed -n '$'p time_stamps.txt`
sed -n '/'$last_time_stamp'/,$'p time.txt > last_half_hour.txt
sed -i '1,2d' last_half_hour.txt

Hey Steve,
The Above small script will do ur job...
the file "last_half_hour.txt" will contain the entries for last half an hour...
do some thing to rename "last_half_hour.txt" to your desire.
So when you set this as a cronjob the file won't be overwritten..Smilie
Test it man, it will work for files with any number of time stamps...
