How about something like this:   
      
   @echo off   
   :: extract a line containing two specified   
   :: keywords   
   find "(whateverfromname)" c:\data.txt>c:\temp\$temp.txt   
   find "(whateverdate)" c:\temp\$temp.txt | more   
   :: pipesymbol more can be replaced with   
   :: something more useful such as >finalfile.txt   
   del c:\temp\$temp.txt
