Splunk Search

Need some help with Syntax

I like to show results only for times between 7pm and 7am Monday through Friday OR anytime on Saturday or Sunday. I'd like to do this within the same search.

I'm using:

(date_wday="s*" OR (date_hour > 19 AND date_hour < 7))

date_hour can't both be more than 19 and less than 7 at the same time. You probably want OR instead of AND there.
