Help with find command

Hi,
Im a newbie.All your suggestions needed.
Im developing a script that should that find dat files based on the file name(file name is created has date info) after comparing it with the current timestamp.Let me put it in a clear way.
For instance,
Say I have files say like
Code:
AA_XX_20121208    /*date part in name of the file*/
AA_XX_20121207
AA_XX_20121206
AA_XX_20121205
AA_XX_20121204
AA_XX_20121203
AA_XX_20130108
AA_XX_20130107
AA_XX_20130106
AA_XX_20130105
AA_XX_20130104
AA_XX_20130103
AA_XX_20130208
AA_XX_20130207
AA_XX_20130206
AA_XX_20130205
AA_XX_20130204
AA_XX_20130203

.
.
.so onFor e.g. this month is February,
the script must find all files relating to January and December.Similarly during month of March,
i must fetch files of January and February. This has to happen each month .

Please note,i do not want to find files based on the modified timestamp (find . -name 'AA_XX_*' -mtime -60)Smilie,
but using the name of the file which has date part.

Thanks in advance,
MJK

DH_INSTALLINFO(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLINFO(1)

NAME
dh_installinfo - install info files SYNOPSIS
dh_installinfo [debhelperoptions] [-A] [file...] DESCRIPTION
dh_installinfo is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing info files into usr/share/info in the package build directory. From debhelper compatibility level 11 on, dh_install will fall back to looking in debian/tmp for files, if it does not find them in the current directory (or wherever you've told it to look using --sourcedir). FILES
debian/package.info List info files to be installed. OPTIONS
-A, --all Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on. --sourcedir=dir Look in the specified directory for files to be installed. This option requires compat 11 or later (it is silently ignored in compat 10 or earlier). Note that this is not the same as the --sourcedirectory option used by the dh_auto_* commands. You rarely need to use this option, since dh_installinfo automatically looks for files in debian/tmp in debhelper compatibility level 11 and above. file ... Install these info files into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified). SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
