MY CODE is as below

Code:
 sed -n "/Jul 21, 2016 3:30:37 PM BST>/,/Jul 21, 2016 15:41:33/p" nodemanager.log

but didn't return any data

Sample data as below
Code:
<Jul 22, 2016 11:22:12 AM BST> <INFO> <1265706386:28759:ERR:ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 23818>

Are you sure any of your search patterns will match any of the lines in your file, and correct to a dot? Sure that there's just one single space in front of the 3:30:37? Sure 15:41 exist when the AM/PM notation is used?

BTW, wasn't it possible to post a sample that matches (part of) the code snippet?

The statement is ok and should work if the patterns are part of the input file.
Just to make sure, can you please issue the following two commands:
Code:
grep -c "Jul 21, 2016 3:30:37 PM BST>" nodemanager.log

# and

grep -c "Jul 21, 2016 15:41:33" nodemanager.log

.. and post the numbers you get?

Hi

It is not returning any data form grep

I wanted to to all the lines between time 3:30 to 3:41 because the event occured between those time and can't trace as can't read the log files.
