I need a way to script from the following file listing only the files dates Jan 13th and scp them to another server.

I can;'t think of a way to separate the July 13th files from the rest and then copy the files dates Jan 13 only off somewhere else.

I know how to scp and I can do it manually but I cannot think of a way to segregate the Jan 13th files and ignore the rest.

File listing:
rw-rw-rw-*** 1 eprprde* profile*** 22147536 Jan 13 21:00 xref.mjl_2011013210028
-rw-rw-rw-*** 1 eprprde* profile***** 566056 Jan 13 21:26 xref.mjl_2011013212620
-rw-rw-rw-*** 1 eprprde* profile*** 22067296 Jan 14 21:00 xref.mjl_2011014210034
-rw-rw-rw-** *1 eprprde* profile***** 328056 Jan 14 21:25 xref.mjl_2011014212552



If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Thanks

"2011013" looks like a date in the filename, though it's missing a digit. Assuming you mean JAN 13 not JUL 13, just scp *2011013* (or *20110113* - assuming there was a typo in your post).

Oh Geez ! Duh on my part. Thanks I never even noticed that.

only one problem with the date in the file name.
the date is for example 2011013
If i used `date +%Y%d` I get 200113.
I don;t know how to get the "0" in there.
