If script.sh contains your function definition and the following:
Code:
if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then # Use given argument as copy date:
copy_date="$1"
else # Use yesterday as copy date:
copy_date=$(get_one_day_before_date $(date '+%d %m %Y') )
fi
# Copy selected files to target directory:
cp A$copy_date.*_file[12] /test/copied
it should do what you want.
Note that calling date three times to set the day, month, and year for a given date is dangerous. If your script runs some day close to midnight, you can end up with one or two of the date commands being run on a different day, month, or even year than the others.
