Should pick latest file within past 3 days using UNIX script and perform steps in message below.

Hi ,
Can anyone help me how do perform below requirement in unix.

Step1:we will receive multiple files weekly with same name(as below) in a folder(In folder we will have other files also def.dat,ghf.dat)

Filenames:

1) abc_20171204_052389.dat
2)abc_20171204_052428.dat

Step2:we should pick the file which has received date within the past 3 days.

step3:We should read the files which has text ‘S A M P L E’ in the files starting at position 31 on line 19 .

step4:Once we identify the file which has text ‘S A M P L E’ than pick that file and should look for 'GENERIC' and copy all the data which has 'GENERIC' to
other file.
