man date

You can put it together like

Code:

date +%d #day
date +%b #month, abbrevated
date +%Y #year, 4 digits

To get shell variables into sed, you can just stop sed with ' again, place the variable there, then continue sed with ', like for example

Code:

sed 's/here'${VAR}'something/deleted/g'
