Wothout code and the format of the log file I can only suggest this ... others
might have other ideas ..
You could read in the line and try to split on the line to put the list
elements into a hash ... the key of hte hash would be the converted time/date
stamp in epoch .... then you can loop through the hash and check the timestamp
there ...
alternatively (assuming I understand the problem correctly) u could just
simply ignore or remove the elements that are not wha tyou want and then do
the comparison .. then u will be guaranteed to have data that you wanted in
the first place ..
