Welcome to the forum..

What are we to understand?
Are you to look to files of date 1, 2 oct? or so you have files you want to extract lines?

Thanks Vbe.

actually i have logs files with huge data and they are size based on 500mb new log file generated.

to coy those files for troubleshotting is very difficult.

my log files contains data from a month for example. now customer wants to create a utility where he can give FROM date and TO date and only logs between these two dates are copied to new files. there are several files with different name. thats my next challenge to have the new files with same name but as of now i need the specific date logs.
i tried last 2 days files and that worked but if i want logs from 15-sep to 16-sep then its issue.


sample logs :
Code:
