sed Equivalent for awk/grep

Any equivalent command using awk or grep?
Code:
sed -n "/^$(date --date='10 minutes ago' '+%b %_d %H:%M')/,\$p" /abc.log

Try this:

Code:
awk -v tm="$(date --date="10 minutes ago" "+%b %_d %H:%M")" '$0 ~ "^"tm"*" {p++} p' /abc.log

or
Code:
awk "/^$(date --date="-10 min" "+%b %_d %H:%M")/{p++} p" /abc.log

This thread is about printing from a logfile, and so are the solutions.

I was just wondering about the needs, because it seems weird to me to alter the dates of a log file before printing it .
