Searching by date range from filenames
Hello all,
i have tons of files in folder named like this (yyyymmdd):
bookcollection20100729
bookcollection20100730
bookcollection20100731
bookcollection20100801
bookcollection20100802
etc.
I need to find files with date range in there names lets say from 2010.07.30 - 2010.08.02
I tried with grep
grep -h --mmap 'horror' /usr/local/data/books/bookcollection201007[10-11]*
But it doesn't work, i can change just date, and not year and months.
The plan is that I will have a script that will ask from user date range input as 2010.07.30 - 2010.08.02 then I will add those years, months and days to variables that I can append to grep/sed command and display result
But I m stuck. Any ideas?

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
