Please post example of your PSU file, how you like your output, and how to get this output.

PSU files will be generated as per the values of day and currday when ever they change. I want a command, where by using the currday and day values i want to exactly search what is my PSU file currently.
Ex: PSU_82301_20130721_ 20130802185605

find . -type f -name "PSU_*${day}_${curday}*"

. is the current work directory.
