Good morning all,
This is the file name in question OD_Orders_2019-02-19.csv
I am trying to create a bash script to read into files with yesterdays date on the file name while retaining the rest of the files name. I would like for $y to equal, the name of the file with a formula output with the exact date in the middle. So far this is what I have:
To get yesterdays date in the correct format, I made x:
x="date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d"
y="OD_Orders_$x.csv"
This issue with this is that the results when I do a echo $y gives me this: OD_Orders_date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d.csv
Can someone please tell me how I can show the value of $x when echo $y correctly without it showing the formula? I need $y to input the filename with yesterdays date in the correct format because I want to use it more later on within this script.
