globbing

I have a list of files named:

file000
file001
file002
file003
...
file1100

How can I match all files that have a number greater than 800 but less than 1000 ? I am using linux bash

Thank you

Edit

Actually, my files are named like:
ab869.enc
cp936.enc
g122345.enc
x2022.enc
abc8859-14.enc
aax5601.enc
cp936-1.enc

so the first solution dont match the correct files :(

How can I match files that have number between 800-999 ?
