So you have a variable containing space-separated tokens and you want to discard some of them? If you are processing them one at a time anyway, perhaps you want something like this:

Code:
for file in $variable; do
  # Skip rest of loop unless it matches 2008:08:14
  case $file in *2008:08:14*) : keep going ;;  *) continue;; esac
  : do whatever you want to do with $file
done

If you just want to collect the values into the variable, "do whatever you want to do" amounts to copying the matching values to a new variable, and assigning it back to the main variable after "done".
