PATTERN=$1
F=${2:-0}
F=${F//-/}
T=${3:-99999999}
T=${T//-/}
 
for subdir in DATA/*
do
   DT=$( basename $subdir )
   DT=${DT//-/}
   [ $DT -lt $F -o $DT -gt $T ] && continue
   echo $subdir
done | xargs grep $PATTERN -r

Call it like this:

Code:

$ find_data.sh my_grep_pattern 2012-01-01 2012-06-13

Now That worked pretty well, I was not aware of the for loop u mentioned above i used to doe ls -lR and then loop over... but i have multiple files inside the hour directory (00->) so i just want to look up into ABC_ file and not any other files since my search patter is also present under multiple files in the directory.
