<FONT COLOR="#000000">I am parsing a log file to extract data for the last one week from the</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">My question is, the date is in "Month day-of-the-month time" format in the</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">log file (ex. "Nov 22 15:15:42") and the current date I get from "datetime"</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">format(or any other format) and then compare with the current date/time.</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">I am sure this will sound like a simple problem to you experts, but, I am</FONT>
