Files with date and time stamp

Hi Folks,

Need a clarification on files with date and time stamp.

Here is my requirement. There is a file created everyday with the following format "file.txt.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS".

Now i need to check for this file and if it is available then i need to do some task to the file.

I tried "file.txt.'date %Y%m%s'*" to check this, but this doesn't seem to work as the file gets created at different time everyday.

Can someone please help me out with the syntax to look for the file if it is available?

Thanks

NAME
pcap_set_tstamp_type - set the time stamp type to be used by a capture device SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h> int pcap_set_tstamp_type(pcap_t *p, int tstamp_type); DESCRIPTION
pcap_set_tstamp_type() sets the the type of time stamp desired for packets captured on the pcap descriptor to the type specified by tstamp_type. It must be called on a pcap descriptor created by pcap_create() that has not yet been activated by pcap_activate(). pcap_list_tstamp_types() will give a list of the time stamp types supported by a given capture device. See pcap-tstamp(7) for a list of all the time stamp types. RETURN VALUE
pcap_set_tstamp_type() returns 0 on success if the specified time stamp type is expected to be supported by the capture device, PCAP_WARN- ING_TSTAMP_TYPE_NOTSUP on success if the specified time stamp type is not supported by the capture device, PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if called on a capture handle that has been activated, and PCAP_ERROR_CANTSET_TSTAMP_TYPE if the capture device doesn't support setting the time stamp type.
