Not sure about grep but you could do it with sed or awk pretty simply:

Code:

sed -n '/1287483952\.440/,/1287483452\.440/p' file

awk '/1287483952\.440/,/1287483452\.440/' file

no ya .. time doesn't work .. it brings a output of old time as well

Maybe the log entries are not sorted? Anyway, you can easily extract lines whose time is between two specific timestamps using numeric comparison in awk:

Code:

awk '$1 >= 1287483452.440 && $1 <= 1287483952.440' squid.log
