Search for a specific String in a log file for a specific date range

Hi,

I have log file which rolls out every second which is as this.
Code:
[2014-03-24 18:45:35,704 ERROR [http-8080-15] HttpGenRequest - [ALERT]-<!--OXi dbPublish--> <created="2014-03-24 23:45:37" lastMsgId="" requestTime="0.0333"> <response request="getOutcomeDetails" code="114" message="Request found no matching data" debug="" provider="undefined"/> </oxip> )]

I want a script file to print out all the occurrences of the string 'ERROR' for a particular date range example on a specific day for example 2014-03-24 or a date range or a month given as input.

And print out different types of errors as "Request found no matching data" into another file

If sample provided will be same for all the records , then you can try as follows

Code:
awk -v d=2014-03-24 -F'"' 'substr($1,2,10)==d && substr($2,1,10)==d && $1~/ERROR/ {print substr($1,2,19)",ERROR,"$2","$12}'  sample.txt

output:-
Code:
2014-03-24 18:45:35,ERROR,2014-03-24 23:45:37,Request found no matching data


or for date ranges

Code:
awk -v d1=2014-03-24 -v d2=2014-03-25 -F'"' 'substr($1,2,10)==d1 && substr($2,1,10)==d2 && $1~/ERROR/ {print substr($1,2,19)",ERROR,"$2","$12}'  grep_error_in_range

log file will be exactly as this, the command which you gave was not working...

couldn't we use grep for searching a string and sorting according date..???

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Written on Windows without shell avilable
#
#	Variables
#
	search="ERROR"
	logfile=/var/log/logname
	str_output=""
	start_year=2014
	start_month=3
	start_day=20
	end_year=2014
	end_month=3
	end_day=30
#
#	Action
#
	while [ $start_year -lt $end_year ];do
		while [ $start_month -lt $end_month ];do
			while [ $start_day -lt $end_day ];do
				str_output+="$(grep $start_year-$start_month-$start_day $logfile|grep $search && printf '\n' )"
				((start_day++))
				[ $start_day -gt 31 ] && start_day=1 && ((start_month++))
			done
			((start_month++))
			[ $start_month -gt 12 ] && start_month=1 && ((start_year++))
		done
		((start_year++))
		[ $start_year -gt $(date +'%Y') ] && break
	done
	printf "${str_output}\n"|sort

Save this (and change vars if required) as a script and execute it.
To save the results, simply use redirection: ./script > result.txt

Hope this helps
