How to grep the logs between two time range

Question

I have a log file abc.log in which content is like this when I do a vi on it.

2015-05-28 18:12:00,815 INFO 0x7f6ed23e3700 send_to - recent: 1432861920 from dc:2 client_id: 102
2015-05-28 18:13:01,024 INFO 0x7f6ed23e3700 send_to - recent: 1432861980 from dc:2 client_id: 101
2015-05-28 18:13:42,244 WARN 0x7f6ed26e6700 mgr - Failed to upsert data for userid 3589109212161 with value cat and status -2
2015-05-28 18:14:00,135 INFO 0x7f6ed23e3700 send_to - recent: 1432862040 from dc:2 client_id: 103

I want to see the all the logs between this time frame:

2015-05-28 00:30:00 - 2015-05-28 02:30:00

So basically whatever logs I have between these time frame I want to see it in the same order in which it is there already. Is this possible to do using grep?

Solution

From what I understand AWK can be used for this. As well, there's an answer on Stack Overflow already that looks like exactly what you want?

Thanks. In my case I don't have brackets around my date? How does awk script looks like then?

@david It is more than enough hints. You can easily get it if you know regular expression
