Subject: Re: Parsing log with date time entry

I finally got a little more time to work on this. I went the route of 
comparing the current time to the string value and came up with this

require 'time'

s_time = (Time.now - (15*60))
e_time = Time.now
range = (s_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M")..e_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y 
%H:%M"))
time = s_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M")

Dir["*.log"].each |path|
    File.open( path ) do |s|
      s.grep( /#{range}/ ) do |line|
        puts line
      end
    end
end

the issue is the range variable is not catching anything. When I use the 
time variable it works as expected if there is a matching entry in the 
log

hmm maybe next I should try to compare the entry in the log to the time 
range....
