Mail file with date of today

[blueeyedme]

Hi,

I have a script which generates a file every day. This file looks like this 20040123.txt (date).
How do i get my mail command in this way that it always picks todays file?

Regards,

Jeroen

define a variable for the date part of the file

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`

define the filename

FILE= $DATE.txt

send the mail

mail <usual args> < $FILE

Is that the kind of thing you mean ?
