Run the code below from a script with the parameters like this: "start" "end" "search string".

cat your_log_file | awk "/01\/29\/09 0$1:20:39/,/01\/29\/09 0$2:10:39/{print}" | awk "/$3/{print}"

But below mentioned line is working:
it starts from the word A and when 01/30/09 comes it stops and prints the line starting from CARRIER.

cat /omp/omp-data/logs/OMPROP1/090130.APX  | nawk  "/01\/30\/09/{exit}/A/{print}" | nawk "/CARRIER/{print}"
