ksh/nawk help with if statement to choose between 2 files

Hi! I am having a bit of a problem with my script. There are two different date formats that may appear in a file, either Jul-12 or Jul--6. I tried to create an if statement that searches for one of the formats and if that doesn't exist searches for the other, however it doesn't seem to be working. Please see below:

Code:

 
YESTER=`TZ=aaa24 date +%b"-"%d`
 
YESTERF=`TZ=aaa24 date +%b"-"%d | sed 's/-0/--/'`
 
filelista=$(find /export/home/gen/cks/traces \( -name \*$YESTERF\* ! -name \*DNA\* \) -print | tr '\n' ' ')
filelistb=$(find /export/home/gen/cks/traces \( -name \*$YESTER\* ! -name \*DNA\* \) -print | tr '\n' ' ')
 
if [[ ! -e $filelista ]]
then
filelist=$filelistb
elif [[ -e $filelista ]]
then
filelist=$filelista 
else
print "No filelist found!"
fi
 
print "Date/Time,Location,Shelf,IP,Reason,Log Filename" >> $OUTPUT
nawk -F':' '
$2 ~ /Reason/ && $3 !~ /(PASSTHRU|OCP|FP Power Button|Bootloader|PFR|MEM)/ {
split(FILENAME, a, "-")
f = a[1]
while (i = index(f, "/")) f = substr(f, i+1)
sub("\r$", "");
printf("%s %s,%s %s,%s,%s,%s,%s-%s-%s-%s-%s-%s-%s-%s-%s\n", a[5], a[6], a[2], a[3], a[4], f, $0, f, a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9])
}' $filelist >> $OUTPUT

I think it has to do with the if statement as I ran it previously with only on of the two filelists and it worked properly. However, when the date changes to Jul10th and on I will need it to switch to the other format.

mkbom

MKBOM(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  MKBOM(8)

NAME

     mkbom -- create a bill-of-materials file

SYNOPSIS

     mkbom [-s] directory bom
     mkbom [-s] -i filelist bom
     mkbom -h | --help

DESCRIPTION

     The mkbom command creates a bill-of-materials (bom(5)).  You must specify either a source as a directory, or a text file containing a file
     listing as outputted by lsbom(8).	mkbom will generate bill-of-materials information based on that information.  Any existing bomfile will be
     overwritten by the new bomfile.

     Options:

     -h 	  print full usage

     -s 	  create a simplified bom containing only file paths

     -i filelist  use the information in filelist, one entry per line, to construct the bom file. The format of the file should match lsbom(8)
		  output with no formatting options (the default). If -s is given to mkbom, the input filelist should contain only pathnames, as
		  with lsbom -s.

SEE ALSO

     bom(5), ditto(8), mkbom(8)

HISTORY

     The mkbom command appeared in NeXTSTEP as a tool to create bom files used during installation.
