Let me try again. I want to copy a file with a filename like 2013-August-18--1123.zip to another folder. However, because the last 4 digits of the filename won't always be the same, I want to be able to search in a bash script for '2013-August-18--*.zip'. I.e. match all files with '2013-August-18--' in the filename. From a console I can do this by:
ls 2013-August-18--*.zip How can I do that in a bash script. I can probably use find, but this seems much simpler and/or quicker than finding one file. Does that make more sense?
