I am trying to sort and parse lines in a csv file. So far I have been able to sort the date column. Assuming I can use sort to filter from a certain date - but all the info I find deals with different date formats. Below is a sample of the file.
Here is how I have sorted the output by date so far:
sort -t, -k 3 timestamp.csv | grep @example.com
user1@example.com,active,20240716084550.486Z
brismith@example.com,active,20240716084558.413Z
bnuser5@example.com,active,20240716084608.601Z
he8776@example.com,active,20240716084619.079Z
rd88377@example.com,active,20240716084626.169Z
britest@example.com,active,20240716084652.013Z
I would like to sort the output with all lines with a date string of "20240418" and before that date.
I tired sorting the output by the date column with:
sort -t, -k 3 timestamp.csv | grep @example.com
I am expecting to show output with a date column of 20240418 or before this date. I can just edit the file manually (what works for now) but would like to parse the file from the cli to save a step.
Thank you
After sorting, pipe to awk and exit when you get a line higher than your target date.
sort -t, -k 3 timestamp.csv | awk -F, '$3 > 20240418000000 {exit} /@example.com/'
