PLEASE get used to the habit of posting DATA, CONTEXT, ERROR messages, etc. so people can understand and/or analyse WHAT goes wrong.

Your statement is difficult to understand and believe. As long as there is a (any) file named LET_daily_trans_${Today}.csv or LET_daily_trans_345_${Today}.csv, with Today having a matching contents, the condition is true irrerspective of any other file name that you might work upon.

Code:
if [ "$file" = "LET_daily_trans_${Today}.csv" ] ||  [ "$file" = "LET_daily_trans_345_${Today}.csv" ]

@Don, the use of double == in a test command is not part of the POSIX standards. rdrtx1's suggestion is grammatically correct.

See test: operands

Hi Scrutinizer,
Yes, you are absolutely correct. I have deleted my post with the incorrect suggestion.

Sorry,
Don
