extracting date from a filename

Hi,
I am a beginner in Unix so please bear with me...
I have a directory which has files in format: RECF-YYYY-MM-DD-input. For example, RECF-2008-02-25-input. I need to extract the YYYYY-MM-DD substring from this filename and convert that into date and compare it with a date. How do I do that?
For instance, I have a directory with the following files:
RECF-2008-02-21-input
RECF-2008-02-22-input
RECF-2008-02-23-input
RECF-2008-02-24-input

I need to get the files whose date substrings are greater than 2008-02-22 (Feb 22, 2008) which are RECF-2008-02-23-input and RECF-2008-02-24-input in the examples above. Please help

Thanks in advance.
