I can use awk and grep to get required columns and to get data for a set 
date but I dont know how to grep for data for between time frames in a day.

>From the week data to get all data for a certain date i usually use

$ grep '^03/.*/2003' <data file>


BUT If I would like to see all data within a week between 10am and 14pm how 
can I do this?

Can someone please help as I think have tried everything to my knowledge and 
understanding

Any help will be greatly appreciated

regards,
gab
