Use awk:

Code:

/logdir/logfile_2008:08:13_Comp.Z \
/logdir/logfile_2008:08:14_Comp.Z \
/logdir/logfile_2008:09:01_Comp.Z \
/logdir/logfile_2008:09:14_Comp.Z'

start=20080814
end=20080901
newvar=$(
printf "%s\n" $var |
 awk -F_ -v start=$start -v end=$end '
  {
   date = $2
   gsub( /:/,"",date )
  }
 date >= start && date <= end { printf "%s ", $0 }
'
)

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
