Try this..
I am not having any problem in using this..
I created one txt file with two lines.
$ cat checking.txt
Date operation
Nov 02
Then executed the below commands
$ td=$(date '+%b %d')
$ $ grep "$td" checking.txt
Nov 02
Got the Output with two spaces in between.
So check whether the month are in caps in the files.
you know one thing, the below two commands give different results.
$ td=$(date '+%b %d')
$ echo "$td"
Nov 02
It has two spaces in-between
$ echo $td
Nov 02
It has one space in-between
