Help with logrotate email bash script

Hello,

I am trying to basically take the last 4 hours of a log file and pipe it into a new file and then send those contents out via email.

Where do I begin with this?

Thank You in advance !

The title says rotate that is in my understanding a move/rename,
but then you say you want to copy a part of the log file to a new file and another time to mail?
What do you really need?
