Thank you for your reply. As I said, I am a programming/coding klutz.
So your reply, which is no doubt very helpful if I could understand it,
means nothing much to me.
Where is stdin, how do I read from it and how do I do a filter?
How would I use a filter (what would that look like?) "as a preprocessor"?
I'm afraid that I am 'drowning' in this strange talk and need a very
large and buoyant life-jacket to help me keep afloat and navigate
through this verbage. Sigh.
Sorry.

I want to exclude from 11:45 to 11:51.
The FROM and TO parameters appear only to allow me to exclude *before*
11:45 and *after* 11:51, whereas I want to exclude *after* 11:45 and
*before* 11:51.
The only solution I can think of without modifying the code is filtering
the requests before analog processes the log file, either by reading
from stdin and filtering using grep, or by using a filter as a
preprocessor.
cat log | grep -v -f file-with-date-time-patterns-to-exclude | analog ...
