I can (and am) using the date command in a variable. But, the filename is not just backup-08-18-2013.zip, which isn't a problem to do. The problem is the filename is variable /outside/ the date. For example: backup-08-18-2013--1215.zip. I can VAR the date parts, but that '1215' part I need to wildcard. Does that make more sense?
I wasn't sure how you were getting the date. I was, however, clear that there were parts of the filename that both varied and weren't related to the date. And, by the way you reply, putting the date in the correct format on the command line isn't an option. (If you're worried about getting the format wrong, or having somebody else use the script and fscking it up, I don't blame you; I'd want to do the parsing inside the script too.)
