you can do something like this :
Code:
Start_Date='20060701'
End_Date='20060715'
Prefix='ramp_'
Suffix='.rpt'

ls  ${Prefix}*${Suffix} 2>/dev/null |
while read file
do
   datestamp=`echo ${file} | sed -e "s/^${Prefix}//; s/${Suffix}\$//"`
    if [ $datestamp -ge ${Start_Date} -a ${datestamp} -le ${End_Date} ]
   then
      echo "Extract file $file"
   else
      echo "Ignore file $file"
   fi
done
