How to filter based on date time?

[talendtester]

I am reading from a delimited file and trying to filter for only the rows of date within a specific date time range.
I found this for dates:
https://help.talend.com/search/all?query=How+to+compare+Dates&content-lang=en
How can I make it compare Date Times?
I am trying this:
context.myStartDate ="2017-02-03 23:00:00"
context.myEndDate   ="2017-02-04 00:00:00"

     TalendDate.compareDate( input_row.newColumn5, context.myStartDate,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") > 0
&& TalendDate.compareDate( input_row.newColumn5, context.myEndDate,  "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") < 1

Is it possible with a job that looks like this?
tFileInputDelimited > tFilterRow > tFileOutputDelimited

What is Your problem?
Yes You can use tFilterRow or tMap with filter conditions
for examples  TalendDate.diffDate or  TalendDate.compareDate

I have been trying to filter the date time for a specific hour on a particular day with tFilterRow but can't get it to work. So far I have only been able to filter for the particular day. I am having trouble filtering the hour.
Can you please share an example of how to filter for an hour like 5pm? (5pm GMT is 23:00 Central Standard Time)
Thanks

You always must convert data to same format, so if You need example - please attach sample data set

please
   
same with tFilterRow
  

[talendtester]

So use a tMap instead of a tFilterRow?
