   #!/bin/awk -f
   $2 ~ /[0-9]:00/ {count++}
   END { printf "\n\nCount is:%d\n\n",count }

   And it will work perfectly for the second column (TIME) (hopefully)!


it counts the number of lines. but to get the hour in an expression
like this try :

#!/bin/awk -f
   $2 ~ /[0-9]:00/ {split($2,time,/:/);i = time[1];print i}

if the file is :
adsfd 1:00
dafhsldkj kdsflhlsd
kjdahslka 34:00


it will print :
1
34



hope it will help.
