as you can see file names contain the date and the type of backup(just level and full are important to me)
now i want return the values like this:
if the backup date belong to today or yesterday and backup type was full return 10
if the backup date belong to today or yesterday and backup was level return 5
and if non of them was true return 0.

i have no idea how can:
1- put the files name in a string.
2- how can extract the last backup date and type?
3- how can compare the date with current day?

sorry for asking questions like this. i just start shell scripting but this one is kind of emergency.
thank you so much.
