For instance if i wanted every line from 2009-09-04 until 2009-09-09 to be pulled out (maybe this can be done with grep?) how would I go about doing so? date,test,time,avail 2009-09-01,JS,0.119,99....
Ever since I installed emacs on a new machine I have seen an ugly behaviour. Unfortunately, my old .emacs files are rather fragmented and I can't determine whether I used to have elisp that took care of this.
