You'd have to specify additional details on how the log-file is
formatted, presumably how it's delimited, and what the format of the
corresponding time-stamp is. Something like
"I have a tab-delimited log file where the 4th column is the
timestamp in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss' and the 18th column is
the status. I want to search for items where the status contains
'Successfully Sent' and then further filter them by (1) events in
the last hour, and (2) all events today"
