Question Finding/Grep on files with date and hour in the file name

Hi,
I have a folder structure as follows,

DATA -> 2012-01-01 -> 00 -> ABC_2012-01-03_00.txt
-> 01 -> ABC_2012-01-03_01.txt
-> 02 -> ABC_2012-01-03_02.txt
...
-> 23 -> ABC_2012-01-03_02.txt
-> 2012-01-02
-> 2012-01-03

So the dir DATA contains the above hierarchy,
User input Start and End Data
I want to grep on all those files between the input datesSmilie, I want a list of files which come under the input dates.
note that the files creation or modified date is not the date and hour contained in the file name so cannot use find newer/modified command.

So what could be the easiest way of doing it, After finding the files i want to grep a string "PQRS" on the selected files for the input dates.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated...!!! TIA

i-ls(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   i-ls(1)

NAME
i-ls - display file stat and checksum information for files SYNOPSIS
i-ls [-s] filename i-ls [-s] dirname Specify a filename for i-ls to examine, or specify a directory with dirname to examine all the files in the directory. -s Do not show/calculate checksums for all regular files. DESCRIPTION
The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when trusted files have been altered. integrit records information about files in a database. i-ls allows the user to see that information for live files. The output syntax is the same as that of integrit. EXAMPLES
i-ls /tmp/foo.txt shows file stat attributes for the file, "/tmp/foo.txt". i-ls /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp". i-ls -s /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp", also including also checksums for all regular files. AUTHOR
Ed L Cashin <ecashin@users.sourceforge.net> See the integrit web site for up to date releases and information at http://integrit.sourceforge.net/ SEE ALSO
