Getting list of all the log files between two dates
I need to get the list of all the log files for a particular duration, say between two dates,i.e I need to get the list of all the log files between date1 and date2.The two dates are entered by the user.

The format of the log file is :

/path_name/graph_name_20080801180308.log.

I dont need to consider the timestamp...just need the date as the filtering criteria.
