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"
