[problem] making a backup files

Hi guys,

I'm a little stuck on this problem, I've tried googling it and some trial and error but can't seem to get it working.

Basically I need the script to:

1) create a directory called "mybackups", if it doesn't exist
2) go through all the .sh files in the current directory, and copy them into the
"mybackups" directory.
3) add the date to the end of each filename.

This is what I've got so far:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

if [test -e mybackups]
then
	mkdir mybackups
	echo "Created backup directory"
else
	echo "Backup directory found"
fi

for file in (man ls)
do
	if[${f: -3} == '.sh']
	then
		cp $file $file|date "+%Y%m%d"
	fi
done

I think the problem is with the cp $file $file|date "+%Y%m%d" line.
But any help would be awesome, I'm a complete newby to this :s
