hi,
I have to ftp previous days file from a directory to another location. The name of the files are like "xxx20060225" \(yyyymmdd format\)
"xxx20060226"
ls -lrt xxx*| tail -2| head -1 will give me the file, but if i could get anything related to the "date" function to get that previous days filename, it would have been great.
thanx,
abey
