Move yesterday's file the next day

[confuseddddd]

Need some help on taking a file created yesterday but is processed today and moving it to an archive directory.

correctly the logic is:
cp 20*.I* /ARCHIVE/inbound/cp 20*.I* 2>> $EDILOG

but we receive:
cp: 20040218.I01: Error 0

Any ideas on how to copy the file regardless of the date???
Thought the wildcard would work but doesn't appear to...

cp 20*.I* /ARCHIVE/inbound/cp/ 2>> $EDILOG

tried your suggestions and still am receiving the ERROR 0.
The script is run daily and needs to take the day before's file and place in an archive directory. Don't want to hard code the date every day but wanted to just be able to copy the file (yesterday's)...

Any other suggestions????

try this

LASTFILE=`ls -rt 20*.I*|line`

mv $LASTFILE /ARCHIVE/inbound/cp

Here's a script we use on some of our servers called logmaint. It copies all files in a log directory to a log.archive directory which contains a subdir for each day of the week. The -w option specifies how many weeks back you want to save, and the -c, -m, and -z options specify whether you want the original file moved, copied, or zeroed out.
