Variable substition with the Find command

[mag01]

Can anyone help with the correct syntax for the following. I want the $yesterday to be resolved to it's value but cannot get the correct syntax (eg quote, double quote etc)

find . -type f -name $YESTERDAY.* -print

Thanks,
Mark.

as in a shell script?
have u tried:

find . -type f -name "$YESTERDAY.*" -print

or

find . -type f -name "$YESTERDAY".* -print


I know u said u were playing with single and double quotes, just covering all bases.

The first method works - I was trying that, but on checking after seeing your reply I found that I had the incorrect case for the variable name. Thanks for the fast response.
