Cut Command error cut: Bad range

Hi
Can anyone what I am doing wrong while using cut command.
Code:
for f in *.log
  do
    logfilename=$f
    Log "Log file Name: $logfilename"
    logfile1=`basename $logfilename .log`
    flength=${#logfile1}
    Log "file length $flength"
    from_length=$(($flength - 15))
    Log "from length $from_length"
    logfile_date=`echo $logfile1 | cut -c ${from_length}-8`
    Log "Logfile date with stringlength $logfile_date"
done

Getting error in cut command for a file as
INT_put_daily_stock_tax_to_ML_20110520_002258
I want use cut command.

The error is showing
Code:
+ + echo INT_put_daily_stock_tax_to_ML_20110520_002258 
+ cut -c 30-8 
cut: Bad range "30-8" in list

NAME
Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch - send messages to Log::Dispatch back-end INHERITANCE
Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch is a Log::Report::Dispatcher SYNOPSIS
use Log::Dispatch::File; dispatcher Log::Dispatch::File => 'logger', accept => 'NOTICE-' , filename => 'logfile', to_level => [ 'ALERT-' => 'err' ]; # disable default dispatcher dispatcher close => 'logger'; DESCRIPTION
This dispatchers produces output to and "Log::Dispatch" back-end. (which will NOT be automatically installed for you). The REASON for a message often uses names which are quite similar to the log-levels used by Log::Dispatch. However: they have a different approach. The REASON of Log::Report limits the responsibility of the programmer to indicate the cause of the message: whether it was able to handle a certain situation. The Log::Dispatch levels are there for the user's of the program. However: the programmer does not known anything about the application (in the general case). This is cause of much of the trickery in Perl programs. The default translation table is list below. You can change the mapping using new(to_level). See example in SYNOPSIS. METHODS
Constructors $obj->close See "Constructors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->new(TYPE, NAME, OPTIONS) The Log::Dispatch infrastructure has quite a large number of output TYPEs, each extending the Log::Dispatch::Output base-class. You do not create these objects yourself: Log::Report is doing it for you. The Log::Dispatch back-ends are very careful with validating their parameters, so you will need to restrict the options to what is supported for the specific back-end. See their respective manual-pages. The errors produced by the back-ends quite horrible and untranslated, sorry. -Option --Defined in --Default accept Log::Report::Dispatcher depend on mode callbacks [] charset Log::Report::Dispatcher <undef> format_reason Log::Report::Dispatcher 'LOWERCASE' locale Log::Report::Dispatcher <system locale> max_level undef min_level debug mode Log::Report::Dispatcher 'NORMAL' to_level [] accept => REASONS callbacks => CODE|ARRAY-of-CODE See Log::Dispatch::Output. charset => CHARSET format_reason => 'UPPERCASE'|'LOWERCASE'|'UCFIRST'|'IGNORE'|CODE locale => LOCALE max_level => LEVEL Like "min_level". min_level => LEVEL Restrict the messages which are passed through based on the LEVEL, so after the reason got translated into a Log::Dispatch compatible LEVEL. The default will use Log::Report restrictions only. mode => 'NORMAL'|'VERBOSE'|'ASSERT'|'DEBUG'|0..3 to_level => ARRAY-of-PAIRS See reasonToLevel(). Accessors $obj->backend Returns the Log::Dispatch::Output object which is used for logging. $obj->isDisabled See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->mode See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->name See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->needs See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->type See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher Logging $obj->collectLocation Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->collectLocation See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->log(HASH-of-OPTIONS, REASON, MESSAGE) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->reasonToLevel(REASON) Returns a level which is understood by Log::Dispatch, based on a translation table. This can be changed with new(to_level). $obj->stackTraceLine(OPTIONS) Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->stackTraceLine(OPTIONS) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->translate(HASH-of-OPTIONS, REASON, MESSAGE) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher SEE ALSO
