Hello guys, I am writing a log parser script, i've got the problemm please look: I want to print the lines from big file that were added for last 5 minutes my scenario: 1. read the file from the end untill date in file < current date on 300 secs: 

# tac /var/log/biglog |  perl -ne 'print; exit 0 if (($DateCurrent -$D
+ate) > 300 );'

where $DateCurrent - current date in unix timestamp: date +%s $Date - the date from log file, but the problem here is that it has format that I cannot convert to unixtimestamp for compare: 

# tail -3 biglog
