I have the following files:

file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
...

I want to search inside these files using grep but my search must be limited on files its date is today and 3 day befor for example if file1.txt is created in this day(16/09/2017) and file2.txt is created in (14/09/2017) then grep search only in this two files.

I want to do that command in shell script.

I only know how to search in files using one line command such 

grep wordToSearch file*
