extracting syslog entries of a prticular date from big syslog.log file

[Kuntal Gupta]

My syslog file is too big, I want to extract the log entries of a particular date from this syslog.log file. Would anybody pls help me?

You could just grep for the date:
grep "^Jul 18" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Note: If the first 9 days of the month, you'll need two spaces.
