If GNU date is available you can do :

Code:
day_of_week=$(date  +%w)
file_format='Extracts_%Y%m%d*'

if [ $day_of_week -eq 1 ]
then
   file_pattern=$(date --date='last friday' +"$file_format")
else
   file_pattern=$(date --date='yesterday' +"$file_format")
fi

file_name=$(ls $file_pattern 2>/dev/null)

You can also adapt this script to use the datecalc script.

The function zip_add adds a file to a zip archive, while zip_replace replaces an existing file in a zip archive. The argument archive specifies the zip archive to which the file should be added. name is the file's name in the zip archive (for zip_add ), while index speci- fies which file should be replaced (for zip_replace ).

Upon successful completion, zip_add returns the index of the new file in the archive, and zip_replace returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error. EXAMPLES
struct zip_source *s; if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buffer, len)) == NULL || zip_add(archive, name, s) 0) { zip_source_free(s); printf("error adding file: %s0, zip_strerror(archive)); } ERRORS
