How can I extract date and time from the ASCI file and use it for further processing ??

Dear all,
I have many .asc files from which I want to extract date and time from each file. And then, I want to calculate the elapsed time between two consecutive files. For example, I am showing you the content of one of those .asc files

As you can see in the third and fourth line from the top, contains date and time respectively. I want to extract this date and time for each file I have and then I want to calculate the elapsed time between two consecutive files. I have series of file which has been generated with increasing time and in total I have 100 files. Therefore, i want to calculate the elapsed time between two files. Thats is how much is the time gap between two files.
Regards and thanks Manish
