I'm making a script which I passes an inittial and final date (only the date), and extract the date inside them to on another file?
Maybe something like this:

#script 2010-12-14 2010-12-16

Really appreciate your help
Thanks

Can you use example dates that actually exist in your file and then show an example of the output you want extracted based on the data in your file.
