How to search log file from a date

Hi All,

I want to grep through all the log files created from 20th August. How do I do that? My script will run everyday. So it will take current date as To_Date.

My log file name looks like - applog-2012-08-20-000001....applog-2012-08-20-000002...etc.

Thanks in advance.
