Assuming next day would mean "Today + 1"

Code:
ls -I "abc_$(($(date +%d) + 1).log" > output.file

in solaris,

Code:
dy=`date '+%d'`
 for files in `ls -l *.log`
 do
 if [ `echo $files | sed 's/\(.*\)_\(.*\)\.log/\2/'` -ne $dy ]
 then
 echo $files >> abc.list

thanks for all of your support, i got the comand by using the grep -v option and awk commands.

One more question i had

how can we find out the created date and time of the file in the unix/sun solaris systems.

you cannot retrieve the date/time of creation of a file.
Only modification time of a file can be retrieved from inode
