Hi Perlmonks,

Could please help me with the below situation... we have a logfile with below form of entries

**FAILED PROD** - BUGS - 08/26/13 @11:12 - BUGS~23AUG13~23AUG13~23AUG13~26AUG13~1109

**FAILED PROD** - cockroach - 08/29/13 @11:52 -cockroach~29AUG13~29AUG13~29AUG13~29AUG13~1152

we need to capture only those logfile entries that come between 6pm to 6am following day. Iam trying to read each line of the logfile into an array and again split components of each line into an another array to compare the time stamp between 18hrs to 6hrs. We need to read new entries in the logfile only Iam new to Perl, can any help on this.

Thank you cd

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
