Sorry, I saw the re.search but missed the findall().
My bad.

Again my bad. I thought you had a single line header,
but that must have been another post, oops!

The traditional way to do this is to use a sentinel variable.
That is you scan the lines until you reach your start condition
and set the variable to True.
You then process all the lines until your end condition
where you set the sentinel to false (or exit the loop).
During your processing you only proceed to analyses the lines if the
sentinel is True.
In pseudo code:
start,end = find_times("logA.txt")
for line in open("logC11.txt"):
if start in line: found = True
if end in line: break
if found:
process(line)
Obviously with time values its a little bit more complex
than a simple 'in' test but you get the idea I hope.
