To take file based on date passed
Hi Guys,

I have certain files in my directory which gets appended with dates something like this

Code:
T1_aug17.txt
T1_Aug17.txt
T1_Sep17.txt
config.txt
T1
T2

my code:
curr_date=`date -d "$date" +%Y-%m-%d`
path=mydir
for file in `cat config.txt`
do
final_file=$(ls  $path/ | grep -i $file | grep .txt )
done

I need to take only below files based on current month i.e. its sep 17 , i need to take previous named file based on curr_date aug 17

Code:
T1_aug17.txt
T1_Aug17.txt
