Script to extract text from a log file based on start/end position

[SteveJR]

Hi,

Would someone be able to supply a simple PERL script that can parse a log file and extract or print out text found between a start and end point supplied by the user so basically any lines logged after start time and before end time.?

The start/end points would be a timestamp in the format of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Many thanks in advance,

Steve
