I wrote a program for filter in my pacman log for the package changes after 21:00 hrs but not even reads all the log file. import re def filter(filename, date, outFilename): with open(filename, 'r') as infile, open(outFilename, 'w') as outfile: for line in infile: match = re.match(r'^\[(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\+\d{4}\]', line) if match: current_time = match.group(1) print(current_time) if current_time >= date: outfile.write(line) filter('/var/log/pacman.log', '2025-01-02T21:00:00', 'filteredRegister.txt') the line 'print(current_time)' is for debug. the program stops after 2024-12-24T20:29:34, i think because the hour in the log's hour changes suddenlu to 2024-12-24T15:54:02 for a change in the timezone.
