loop

I am posting my last problem more clearly here
I have 5 files file.20090502.txt, file.20090501.txt, file.20090430.txt, file.20090429.txt, file.20090428.txt,
I have three variables with date1, date2 and [date1-date2] .
date1=20090502 [stringformat]
date2=20090429 [string format]
date1-date2=3
Now the requirement is I have to pull 3 files
file.20090502.txt, file.20090501.txt, file.20090430.txt

Condition is:

while date1-date2=3; then today is 20090502 and so pull file.20090502.txt,
while date1-date2=2; then today is 20090501 and so pull file.20090501.txt
while date1-date2=1; then today is 20090430 and so pull file.20090430.txt
while date1-date2=1; exit

Can somebody plz help me? Thanks in advance
